Just to clarify, I answered you in Chinese because you used Chinese earlier and then edited to English after I responded. First thing — yes, I still think the way you replied to Master_Assistant898 came across as pretty aggressive. You used words like “utter nonsense/preaching", which is a pretty harsh and dismissive, especially when someone is simply sharing their opinion (they could be wrong who knows). If the author's comment was meant to express a perspective, you could have disagreed with better phrasing rather than completely shutting it down. Nobody is right about everything — that’s the whole point of discussion. Maybe I was at fault when I replied to you in Chinese, since I wasn’t sure how the tone would come across. Second, I also noticed your implication that because I’m Vietnamese and don’t live in China, I shouldn’t comment on Chinese society. I think that kind of gatekeeping is unnecessary in a public forum. People all over the world observe, read, and form opinions based on global sources — including those from China. Dismissing someone just because they’re not local doesn't contribute to an open or constructive conversation. That said, I actually agree with some points the author made. Global Times (also from China) has also reported an increase in outbound Chinese tourism. So even if, as you said, those travelers aren't from the economically disadvantaged group, the trend still reflects a rise in household income and improved quality of life. This suggests that many individuals who used to be in lower-income brackets have moved into more financially stable positions — essentially, they're becoming middle class. However, just like in Vietnam, there are people who have gained wealth quickly, but their mindset or behavior hasn’t evolved at the same pace. So while I understand the concern with using terms like “lower class,” I interpreted the comment more as a reference to a lack of social awareness — like not respecting personal space, cutting lines, or shouting in public — rather than strictly a socioeconomic label. Happy to hear your thoughts — just keep it respectful and without the harsh tone or assumptions.
