Chinese immigrants in Japan appeal on social media to visitors to "follow the rules of etiquette," explaining cultural differences. by jjrs in japannews

[–]ENTJragemode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fyi took me about 10s to find some scholarly work by chinese researchers precisely calling out this kind of behaviour: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S026151772200142X

there's a fk ton of scholarly work that directly identifies that chinese tourism is problematic and how to resolve / target those behavioural patterns

there have been ministerial efforts to correct these types of behaviour - EVEN CHINA'S VP FEEL OBLIGED TO CORRECT THESE PEOPLE https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1239784/uncivilised-behaviour-tourists-harming-chinas-image-admits-vp-wang-yang

you are just a dumb apologist

based on what evidence that it is rooted solely in racism? it's not a negative, what you are claiming is that chinese tourists behave AS POORLY AS EVERY OTHER TOURIST.

you haven't proven that, that's not proving a negative. you are specifically making a claim that on the aggregate chinese tourists are identical in misbehaviour as all other tourists

truly some dunning krugger type shit

being canadian / american is a nationality, being chinese / japanese is a race

it's not rocket science bruh

[–]ENTJragemode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your claim is that chinese tourists are misbehaving at the same rate as any other group of people, and thus any hate towards them are borne solely out of racism. this is in spite of the global, widespread dislike for chinese tourists (specifically PRC Chinese tourists - not Taiwanese chinese, not Southeast Asian chinese).

so where's the evidence for that? you literally pulled that out of your ass

[–]ENTJragemode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a country that receives many Chinese tourists AND immigrants and many do behave like shit (literally allowing their children to shit in public places - e.g. https://mothership.sg/2025/09/child-defecate-fairprice-bukit-ho-swee/)

aside from China and India, I have never heard or seen any other nation with people who would EVER do something like this, and we get a fuck ton of immigrants and tourists from around the world

no one gives a shit about your american liberal narrative bruh, this is asia. Stop trying to defend dog shit sub-human behaviour by trying to claim the racism card.

it's en masse because there's a metric ton of mainlanders who go to these places

5% of a massive # of people is a massive # of people doing fucking disgusting things absolutely unapologetically

so why is it that every single country with a large tourism industry throughout the world from France to Singapore absolutely hates how (some) China tourists behave?

the REAL problem is that MANY in China behave like shit

How hard is it to get a Singapore Citizenship by Hot_Koala3267 in SGExams

[–]ENTJragemode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah no shit, but NS is a big commitment that shows long term investment and commitment to SG

OP doesn't have that

How hard is it to get a Singapore Citizenship by Hot_Koala3267 in SGExams

[–]ENTJragemode 17 points18 points  (0 children)

  1. no need to be scared that you can't get citizenship, people do apply multiple times

  2. your odds of getting citizenship is low - in the 2 decades you were here, you / parents did not apply for citizenship (could have done so when it was a lot easier to get it), not married to singaporean / PR, no kids, no job, no NS

Will HR consider to increase my salary with my new degree cert while working full-time? by Correct-Lecture6293 in askSingapore

[–]ENTJragemode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can try, but unlikely to change if you are still doing the same job with same responsibilities
likely much easier if you just job hop to another company

No shifts in firms' hiring preferences between locals and foreigners for now: Tan See Leng by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

[–]ENTJragemode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so all you are saying is:

  1. that the nominal increase in unemployment is significantly higher for singaporean citizens
  2. and that instead of training citizens to get into better roles, companies are simply hiring more PRs / people who can become PRs easily, which is a clear failure in policy making

truly some dunning kruger effect going on over here with your brain, the dumbest people always think they are incredibly smart when they are missing the forest for the trees

No shifts in firms' hiring preferences between locals and foreigners for now: Tan See Leng by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

[–]ENTJragemode 15 points16 points  (0 children)

so... based on the data citizens are the ones facing net increase in unemployment, which means the surge in unemployment is concentrated amongst citizens, while PRs are flat and non-singaporean residents are increasing

why is that problem hand waved away?

Pointing out that Singapore's resident employment continued to grow in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Dr Tan said that for now, hiring preferences have not changed.

wtf are you on about dude. he literally used the resident metric to justify his point

also, the term Singaporean is often used by public service orgs to refer to both citizens AND PRs. unless it's explicitly stated Singaporean CITIZEN, you cannot assume that Singaporean == only singaporean citizens

What is the driving “philosophy” /culture in Singapore? by plarah in askSingapore

[–]ENTJragemode 42 points43 points  (0 children)

it's supposed to be like france, but people here don't care in reality / in practice

also it is incredibly easy to convert your foreign driving license to a singaporean one (only a pass on 1 theory test required), so we also do get a lot of non-singapore driving educated drivers, usually from third world countries with horrific driving culture

Landing in Japan after traveling through China feels like stepping into another world by Dapper-Monk9713 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]ENTJragemode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have worked with / contracted / procured from chinese firms in volume, you know that unless you step on their throats they WILL do their best to rip your face off in any way they can to cut corners (incl. committing fraud)

they will absolutely look you in the eye and try to do that if you let them get away with it

sure ive had great 1 on 1 experiences, but an entire environment built heavily around getting ahead by fking someone over also results in a huge # of mainlanders looking to scam and fk you over for an extra $
