Ya'll have to keep your comments focused on the behaviour of these individuals and keep the racial generalization at a minimum or else this thread it gonna get removed.
lol, I have an African-American friend who visited China and when he went to the men’s room, there was a crowd around him just angling to try to get a peek at his genitals.
China a strange place.
Similar thing happened to me. Two guys followed me to the stall to look at my junk and one says "American penis very good!"
I switched to mandarin and told him he was crazy and that shut it down.
Chinese culture is super direct and blunt, without the same polite norms you find in places like the US. It's refreshing after you understand. But that penis inspection shit was still too far for my comfort (never happened again)
I probably would have had some much less kind words for them. Does FUCK OFF translate in most languages?
At least your penis inspection came back very good though.
I (white woman) used to sunbathe at repulse bay all the time on the weekends, now i refuse to go because all that happens is tourists come up and take videos and pictures of me without asking. I had to throw sand at an old man last time. id rather travel further to avoid the constant irritation…. life guards did nothing….
A local man was chilling further along the beach when this happened to me and yelled at the man with the camera to help send him on his way, I’m sorry no one seems to be helping the woman in this video…
What is with all these people thinking lifeguards are supposed to be beach police? It's not Baywatch. They're literally just there to enforce safety rules and perform rescues.
Used to go to Repulse Bay all the time, even went to HKIS elementary nearby. Seems very empty from what i remember, people/tourist wise. But yah was a kid and never saw this kind of behavior back then. Fuck the CCP
What are they doing with all these pictures… Do they have them printed and framed? Are they for showing to their friends and family? Do they put them in their slideshows?
What did you do with the family selfie you took of the Chimpanzee exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo? Post it on social media... show friends and family you got up close to monkeys... etc.
The problem here is the perception that the person being photographed is on the same level as an animal in an exhibit and not an actual person with boundaries to be respected like people.
It's a social breakdown on a global scale, it just happens to be more relevant in certain places.
That's really messed up. It's definitely not Hong kongers because there's a ton of white people in the city. It's likely mainland Chinese that are visiting Hong Kong and have never seen a white woman.
My dad used to go to China twice a year for work. He took an American woman who he worked with to the Great Wall of China. She happened to be a pretty blonde woman. She was constantly having her hair grabbed and people just generally touching her. It really ruined the experience for her.
My wife and I were in China in 2008 to adopt a child. I'm 6' 2" and 240#. Older Chinese women would walk up next to me to get their picture taken very much like this woman. No one asked (not that I would have understood them). Fortunately, I was in a good mood and went along with it. Who knows how many Chinese photo albums I'm featured in?!
This is a real thing. Like 10 years ago I went on a study abroad trip to China and there were a few tall black dudes also in the program. These dudes would get swarmed when we went out. People would literally come up to them, hand them their infant child, snap a picture, then take their kid back and go on with their day. It was wild.
I'm Mexican and I took a trip in 2006 with some friends to Beijing and Shanghai and we got a similar thing happening. People kept pointing at our eyes and skin and just randomly taking pictures of us. I always wonder if I'm featured in a random family photo album.
A friend of mine has cornrows.
During his trip to China and Japan, hundreds of people ended up going up to him to grab/touch his hair/head. Some people even tried pulling it thinking it was loose or fake, or went as far as to try and undo it wondering how it worked.
There was absolutely no sense of privacy, personal space, or just respect for foreigners in general as he puts it.
That was over 10 years ago and it really soured his trip to the point where he expressed no desire to return.
Oh yeah, recently saw a comment about this black woman with dreads getting her hair pulled roughly by this old Indonesian granny saying wow and staring at her like she was some kind of mythical creature. She had half a mind on either punching her or cussing her out which tbh I can see myself doing if the same happened to me.
They did that to me too! One dad pushed his kids and wife into me so he could take a picture of them with me because they never saw a white person with red hair before.
I grew up in China as an American, my dad was there for work, everyone was fascinated. I remember going to a sorta dive bar and all the locals there insisted on getting photos with me. Really creeped my dad out.
I was in Beijing for a week post-high school in 2002 with a group of about a dozen other Americans, and ended up having to pull fake boyfriend duty for the one blonde girl because young Chinese men would NOT stop surrounding her to just stare, touch her hair, etc.
Edit: and again, this wasn't in the sticks, it was in the middle of Beijing.
When I was about 4 years old living in Hawaii I got grabbed by some Chinese tourists at the beach. I was a very blonde haired and blue eyed kid. They took pictures with me while my parents scrambled to find me, and when they did (thankfully I wasn’t taken far) they were beyond livid and called the police. They said the tourists had no idea what they did was kidnapping lol
one of my friends had what he thought was a good experience and ended up being a terrible one. He's a tall, tall red headed guy, and he was on one of those shopping tours in Beijing on CNY. But he got bored and left the tour and was wandering around. Fireworks started to shoot off the balconies he said, and he stopped to watch them. At the same time, the locals sent their kids to stand next to him so they can take photos. he thought it was pretty weird but he realized how much different he is from them - especially in a non-tourist area. So he went with it. After a bit, he got tired of it and left to try to find teh tour group.. that was when he realized his backpack was cut open and his meagre belongings were stolen :(
My sister went to India (also blonde) and pretty much said the same. Many men would get way into her personal space, some even getting overly touchy in a creepy way or invading her space to take photos posing with her to pretend she's their girlfriend. Absolutely mad.
Its not just Britain, I worked at a military museum in California and it was not uncommon for Chinese tourists to walk past the ropes and get into 60 year old decommissioned helicopters for a pic.
We just visited Iceland over Christmas. Very cool place. We went on a Glacier tour and had four Asians in our group. I have no idea what country they were from - they ignored everybody and acted like they didn't speak English when directly talked to, but would listen to the tour guide on occasion. They were always running off doing their own thing no matter how many times our tour guide scolded them. When we stopped at an ice cave they hogged all the picture time at the ice wall. People were asking them to move and they ignored everybody. The tour guide told them to move on because another group was coming and they ignored her too. Nobody got any pictures against the ice wall except them, who took dozens.
Because they don't view her as a person. You know how normal people take pictures with statues and such to keep the memories. People like these see others as objects.
Dang, that’s really sad if so. I moved away from HK in early 2021, and it was getting bad. No doubt it’s become a lot worse, which really bums me out. It was such a wonderful place when I moved there in 2018.
I had a guy once taking videos of my 8 year old daughter (blue eyed, blond hair) in line at the big Buddha. My husband made him delete the videos. He wasn't HKer for sure. It was so icky.
Yes. I had similar thing. He did smtg and said he deleted. When i wanted to see the gallery on his camera, guess what, still been there. Made him to delete these again. I know he could still recover wr Software but hope he overwrote it kater wt other targets
Not quite the same, but I felt upset when in another country once due to photos of my friend’s little baby being taken due to me.
I’m white - very pale with green eyes. My friend is SE Asian. Her little baby daughter is brown like her as both parents are SE Asian.
My friend desperately needed the bathroom so asked me to hold her daughter for a second, so I stood there jiggling her daughter about and showing her the cats running about and pretending to chase them.
People recording us/screaming excitedly in a language I don’t understand/pinching at me and trying to pinch the baby (I screamed at them and blocked them - though I know people love to pinch babies I am not allowing that)/people asking for photos of me and her, she was two ffs.
Happens in Spain as well.
We have a disney Elsa lookalike in the family. Really pale with rosey cheeks and hair that we struggled to call blond, because it was so close to white. We warned her in advance random old ladies might stroke her on the head at the market. Which indeed happened and was baffling to her.
"They are really jealous of your pretty Elsa hairs".
I went there last weekend and i have bond hair and blue eyes. I legitimately started to think: did i accidentally snap a kid? 😅
Taking pictures or anyone is disgusting, but a kid? Yuk. What do you do in such a situation. As a father I would probably just punch the guy.
You have 2 inches on me and I forgot to pack my bikini but yeah, quite strange on the Shanghai metro standing in the middle of a packed commuter train with everyone staring at me.
I'd have thought people in Shanghai would see more foreigners tbh.
My family has hosted many Chinese people, mainly students bc my Dad is a kind person and they are usually very nice and grateful.
That being said, whenever I've encountered the Chinese tourists they are the fucking worst. By far the most Ignorant, dirty, and entitled people. They litter, don't respect anyone or anything, they will literally destroy shit for a souvenir.
Yeah when I think of the top ten worst tourist behavior I've seen they're like all Chinese. Now China's a big country so that doesn't prove the majority of Chinese are shitty tourists, but the majority of really shitty tourists are Chinese.
They are the worset I've encountered. Before COVID we had a holiday at Morten bay, and there were heaps of holiday goers from mainland China. So many of them were taking photos of my two year old daughter at the beach and none of them asked for permission. They'd go right up and take photos while I was watching, and we had to tell them off. When I was alone with my daughter there was this middle aged man following us, mimicking my daughter calling me. It was extremely disgusting and creepy.
Has this been reported to the police?
But seeing how “glorious” the HKPD are it’s obvious they will bow down to their Chinese masters instead of doing something useful.
This. 👍👍👍👍👍
Most Self-Defense classes try to address this, with varying degree of success (and many failures). It's an instinctual thing, inherited through genes and culture.
This sense of self-preservation is one of the inherent traits that makes a woman a woman, and sadly, this trait is one of the things exploited by men all throughout history.
This is phased out in societies with high social safety (as in all people, whatever their place in the social strata, are safe) and more evident in places with oppression (as this is one of those benefits a leader has to give to his thugs for them to be satisfied and obedient)
It’s true, this is really the case for so many women, and it’s true that even I may act less boldly then confronted in a live event.
But having grown up in hk, in this situation, I would just shout at them to stop, and if they don’t, get dressed and leave. The tourists that go to repulse bay are old village farts, they really need something obvious to get the message
I’m sad nobody intervened in this big public space
You have the option between accepting a, very uncomfortable situation, or risking escalating it to them becoming aggressive.
What those man did was not okay in the slightest, but I do understand her reaction, it's the safest of two evils
Same reason I just might.
Terrified, and I don’t want to be.
I try not to get into those spots to begin with, but I’m not a psychic.
It really is why we can’t have nice things sometimes.
Definitely not to the same degree (that blogger was literally groped by force).
This woman was "engaged in physical contact against her will". I'm not familiar with the law. There might or might not be a case here.
Nah
They are Chinese tourist,treat them with highest hospitality,even they didn’t spent a dime here anymore.
If there is anyone fault,it’s Hongkonger’s..
Posts like this surely attract lots of 50cents. The comment section is glorious.
Checklist:
- blame it on Hongkongers (for not helping)(while ignoring the uploader was speaking Mandarin)
- blame it on OP encouraging xenophobia while it’s a normal human act to look down on such behaviours
- blame it on the woman for not trying to defend herself
- whataboutism: tHiS hAppeNs in EveRy pLaceS
- it’S jUsT a RaRe cAsE bla bla bla
- actually defend the molesters
Edit: also coming from a bunch of outsiders / well-paid 50 cents: dOnT bLaMe tHe cUltuRe aS a wHoLe. Lmao, their culture was EXACTLY the reason they thought it’s ok to touch a random woman on the beach.
And of course mods who I bet are chilling overseas are deleting comments from those who dared to spit out facts.
I remember Chinese having a whole subreddit set up where commentators would sing praises of China and the Chinese government all day. Don't know if it's still around
I remember when I was very young and my family went to the beach and a lot of mainland tourists wanted to take pictures of me because I looked different…I had fair skin, curly hair and blue eyes. my parents recall some of these tourists trying to grab me from their arms when I was a toddler because they wanted pictures, but of course I don’t believe all mainland tourists are like this.
Even the green caption is off the mark. There's no attire that's an invitation to unwanted harassment: touching, photos, anything other infringment of privacy and personal space.
It looks a bit like Repulse Bay. My wife and I were there one day, just chilling in the sun, when a tour bus full of mainland Chinese men came down to the beach with camcorders, blatantly ogling all the women sunbathing. It's disgusting!
Jesus christ I relate to this too much. I was in Brazil last week and did a pink dolphin tour where you're swimming in the river around a guide who uses fish to get them to come over.
A group of chinese tourists arrived and joined us and at the end of the tour they swarmed me to take pictures as I was in a bikini, putting their arms around me with big grins. Just all around lack of respect for boundaries and I got dressed so fast.
I know I sound racist, but really mainlanders have a certain way of dressing and acting that ensures you can spot them from half the world away.
You don't even need to smell their cigarette infested breath. Just a look at them is enough to differentiate them from other Asians. The younger generation is a bit more challenging but most of the times I get it right.
Yea and everyone, don't criticise, otherwise we'll be labelled a racist. Happened too many times to anyone calling out on horrible behaviour of Chinese tourists.
This used to happen all the time Pre-COVID. Buses of Mainlanders would unload at Repulse Bay and walk the beaches fully-clothes, while taking pictures with foreigners against their will.
The excuse of “oh they’ve never seen other people of that ethnicity in person before” is such bullshit. I’ve never seen a silverback gorilla but I sure as shit won’t be grabbing at one and trying to take a selfie with it if I ever do meet one face to face
Had a very similar experience at Repulse Bay, the tourists arrive en masse by bus and crowd anyone sitting on the beach, they've taken photos of our kids, tried to sit next to kids to pose, they stand right up on our mats etc... this lady was very patient, they're lucky she doesn't have any mace. We stopped going to that beach altogether.
Seen this multiple times but usually girls would just be aggressive and fend them off even though they keep getting harassed every 10 minutes. This is a different level though putting your hands on people. But hey we need to be welcoming to tourists 😬
Looks like some VIP judging by the entourage. If that's some Chinese political VIP and they call the police the police will arrest her and apologize to him.
When my blue eyed , blonde daughter was 2 , we accompanied my husband in a work trip to Honolulu.
I hired the photographer to take some photos of her as a Father’s Day gift. I got her a new dress and some cute accessories. Anyway - as the photog and I were attempting to get her walking along the beach and playing - a group of Chinese tourists (men and women) came along and started taking her picture, We’d move up the beach and they would come with us. Finally the photographer went to talk to them , I thought he’d told them to bugger off. Nope, he told me they were asking if they could hold her for some photos.
Lived in HK for a bit.
Went to ocean park, ended up having a bunch of Chinese tourists taking my picture. 1 Chinese girl (probs like 20s) missed my cheek as well (I was probably about 11).
There was one point we were looking at pandas in the panda enclosure and a bunch of mainlanders started taking pictures. We thought the pictures were of the pandas. They were of my family and I.
It's absolutely a cultural thing, or just a lack of social boundaries.
Ya'll have to keep your comments focused on the behaviour of these individuals and keep the racial generalization at a minimum or else this thread it gonna get removed.
This is not okay
lol, I have an African-American friend who visited China and when he went to the men’s room, there was a crowd around him just angling to try to get a peek at his genitals. China a strange place.
The guys wanted to see your friends dick?
Similar thing happened to me. Two guys followed me to the stall to look at my junk and one says "American penis very good!" I switched to mandarin and told him he was crazy and that shut it down. Chinese culture is super direct and blunt, without the same polite norms you find in places like the US. It's refreshing after you understand. But that penis inspection shit was still too far for my comfort (never happened again)
New tag line for your dating profiles "American penis very good ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
Sounds like something Borat would say.
I probably would have had some much less kind words for them. Does FUCK OFF translate in most languages? At least your penis inspection came back very good though.
How do you say "your wife thought so" in mandarin?
Damnit! I haven't thought about this in years but now I'm going to stay up at night, regretting not using such a perfect retort. 😞

You should have a water pistol with special ingredients.
It's called pepper spray.
I (white woman) used to sunbathe at repulse bay all the time on the weekends, now i refuse to go because all that happens is tourists come up and take videos and pictures of me without asking. I had to throw sand at an old man last time. id rather travel further to avoid the constant irritation…. life guards did nothing….
Looks like the name of the bay is super accurate
I thought it was named after the water quality. Never seen so much plastic in one place as at Repulse Bay
This makes me irrationally angry. Especially as passers by or the lifeguards didn't step in. Absolutely disgusting.
A local man was chilling further along the beach when this happened to me and yelled at the man with the camera to help send him on his way, I’m sorry no one seems to be helping the woman in this video…
And good for that one guy who did the right thing. We need more people like that local guy.
What is with all these people thinking lifeguards are supposed to be beach police? It's not Baywatch. They're literally just there to enforce safety rules and perform rescues.
Not even the fucking police would do anything to mainland tourists. Welcome to New Hong Kong.
Throw his phone to the water next 🙏
[удалено]
Used to go to Repulse Bay all the time, even went to HKIS elementary nearby. Seems very empty from what i remember, people/tourist wise. But yah was a kid and never saw this kind of behavior back then. Fuck the CCP
What are they doing with all these pictures… Do they have them printed and framed? Are they for showing to their friends and family? Do they put them in their slideshows?
What did you do with the family selfie you took of the Chimpanzee exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo?

I have been a lifeguard. It has never been part of my job responsibilities to act as law enforcement.
That's really messed up. It's definitely not Hong kongers because there's a ton of white people in the city. It's likely mainland Chinese that are visiting Hong Kong and have never seen a white woman.
That should be obvious...
Disgusting ppl

This is my favorite part tbh. Knowing I’m part of a bunch of people’s family photo albums on the other side of the world. So weird and cool!
True, but I was fully clothed and with a group of people so it felt fun an safe. This poor girl doesn't look comfortable at all.
When you live in a homogenous country, every foreigner you encounter feels like finding a shiny.
A friend of mine has cornrows. During his trip to China and Japan, hundreds of people ended up going up to him to grab/touch his hair/head.

[удалено]
DON’T TOUCH HER!!!
You are not the same age!
Lol, thank you for that. Dr. K plays on
Lmao glad someone said it
Mainlanders to British pianist: "Don't touch her, you're not the same age" Also the mainlanders:
The sad part is Mainlanders are above law now in Hong Kong.
That's why they travel to Britain and act like arrogant entitled twats
Its not just Britain, I worked at a military museum in California and it was not uncommon for Chinese tourists to walk past the ropes and get into 60 year old decommissioned helicopters for a pic.
Maybe the man has mistaken. He thought they are at the same age.

If I see this in person I’ll show them a Brazilian woman’s wrath…
As a man who has witnessed HongKong women's wrath, well....
I’ll join with them and these dudes will have no chance. 💅💅💅
🩴🩴🩴
This is extra threatening since, according to Reddit videos, all Brazilians are armed off duty police officers.
And people ask why we don't like the mainland culture, spread the fucking word already.
[r/DontHelpJustFilm](https://www.reddit.com/r/donthelpjustfilm/)
The one filming is also a Chinese tourist
Hongkonger here—this is exactly how mainlanders are stereotyped to act by Hongkongers.
Yeah I don't get why they don't stop the men from touching her? She's clearly not comfortable.
Because they don't view her as a person. You know how normal people take pictures with statues and such to keep the memories. People like these see others as objects.
Yeah that's probably it. Ugh. Makes me feel so disgusted.

Will bet it's Repulse Bay.
That’s what the subtitles say
What a suiting name for a situation like this
Hope police follow up this
Police aren't doing shit to the Chinese tourist 😇
Yep. They cannot offend or hurt their feelings because the people from the mainland are first class citizens
天龍人
天loong人*
You don't know the Hong Kong hierarchy: Chinese > police > others > Hong Kong people
and state media has the gall to say we would suffer as 'second class citizen' if we immigrate lol
To arrest the girl? Wearing so little to seduce mainlander tourists. Welcome to new HK.
Dang, that’s really sad if so. I moved away from HK in early 2021, and it was getting bad. No doubt it’s become a lot worse, which really bums me out. It was such a wonderful place when I moved there in 2018.
To arrest the woman not cooperating?
Did you forget this is CCP land?
to line up take picture ?
I had a guy once taking videos of my 8 year old daughter (blue eyed, blond hair) in line at the big Buddha. My husband made him delete the videos. He wasn't HKer for sure. It was so icky.

In the Philippines, all of the older ladies wanted to touch my youngest's hair. It was overwhelming. I can't imagine that with a baby.
Happens in Spain as well. We have a disney Elsa lookalike in the family. Really pale with rosey cheeks and hair that we struggled to call blond, because it was so close to white. We warned her in advance random old ladies might stroke her on the head at the market. Which indeed happened and was baffling to her. "They are really jealous of your pretty Elsa hairs".

Goto prison for assault
Gosh this is a perfect example of what happened to me in Shanghai a few months ago!!
Me too! Walking down the street constantly being hassled. Like they haven't seen a 6 foot four male Norwegian wearing a bikini.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that either
You have 2 inches on me and I forgot to pack my bikini but yeah, quite strange on the Shanghai metro standing in the middle of a packed commuter train with everyone staring at me. I'd have thought people in Shanghai would see more foreigners tbh.

I'd be hard pressed not launching those phones into the fucking sea, how absolutely outrageous!
That girl is kind enough to not throw sand at the guy’s eyes
Surrounded by a bunch of men acting the same way - not likely that it’s because she’s kind, but because she’s scared of retaliation.
Exactly. You can tell who the men are in this thread by the comments that are surprised or confused why she didn't retaliate lol
Has this been reported to the police? But seeing how “glorious” the HKPD are it’s obvious they will bow down to their Chinese masters instead of doing something useful.
Really disgustinggg and annoyinggg
Why the heck is she so polite? I would not hesitate to twist their wrists& kick them in the balls (Hk local here)

This. 👍👍👍👍👍 Most Self-Defense classes try to address this, with varying degree of success (and many failures). It's an instinctual thing, inherited through genes and culture. This sense of self-preservation is one of the inherent traits that makes a woman a woman, and sadly, this trait is one of the things exploited by men all throughout history. This is phased out in societies with high social safety (as in all people, whatever their place in the social strata, are safe) and more evident in places with oppression (as this is one of those benefits a leader has to give to his thugs for them to be satisfied and obedient)
It’s true, this is really the case for so many women, and it’s true that even I may act less boldly then confronted in a live event. But having grown up in hk, in this situation, I would just shout at them to stop, and if they don’t, get dressed and leave. The tourists that go to repulse bay are old village farts, they really need something obvious to get the message I’m sad nobody intervened in this big public space
Well put response to a reactionary post.
Probably scared.
You have the option between accepting a, very uncomfortable situation, or risking escalating it to them becoming aggressive. What those man did was not okay in the slightest, but I do understand her reaction, it's the safest of two evils
Same reason I just might. Terrified, and I don’t want to be. I try not to get into those spots to begin with, but I’m not a psychic. It really is why we can’t have nice things sometimes.
She knew those were sky looooooong people. If she pissed them off, she would no doubt get arrested.
Sky loong ppl Is that a one piece reference lol
Omg this is soooo fuckin cringe. Poor woman, leave her the fuck alone!
Don't touch her! You are not the same age!
would this qualify as sexual assault like the Korean blogger?
Definitely not to the same degree (that blogger was literally groped by force). This woman was "engaged in physical contact against her will". I'm not familiar with the law. There might or might not be a case here.
Nah They are Chinese tourist,treat them with highest hospitality,even they didn’t spent a dime here anymore. If there is anyone fault,it’s Hongkonger’s..
Stop touching her! You're not the same age! Please
Same age wouldn't make this acceptable.
It's a reference to the British pianist's video
Posts like this surely attract lots of 50cents. The comment section is glorious. Checklist: - blame it on Hongkongers (for not helping)(while ignoring the uploader was speaking Mandarin) - blame it on OP encouraging xenophobia while it’s a normal human act to look down on such behaviours - blame it on the woman for not trying to defend herself - whataboutism: tHiS hAppeNs in EveRy pLaceS - it’S jUsT a RaRe cAsE bla bla bla - actually defend the molesters Edit: also coming from a bunch of outsiders / well-paid 50 cents: dOnT bLaMe tHe cUltuRe aS a wHoLe. Lmao, their culture was EXACTLY the reason they thought it’s ok to touch a random woman on the beach. And of course mods who I bet are chilling overseas are deleting comments from those who dared to spit out facts.
I remember Chinese having a whole subreddit set up where commentators would sing praises of China and the Chinese government all day. Don't know if it's still around
Sino It is full of non-Chinese citizens and Chinese Americans fantasising about China without stepping into China.
What the actual fuck
You can take a peasant out of China but you can't take China out of the peasant.
Just keep in mind those disgusting people are from China.
I remember when I was very young and my family went to the beach and a lot of mainland tourists wanted to take pictures of me because I looked different…I had fair skin, curly hair and blue eyes. my parents recall some of these tourists trying to grab me from their arms when I was a toddler because they wanted pictures, but of course I don’t believe all mainland tourists are like this.
So many 50 cents here trying to shift the blame to the locals when there was literally no locals involved in the entirety of the video.
Chinese mfers will take videos/pictures of anything that is remotely of interest/foreign to them
This is called sexual assault
Even the green caption is off the mark. There's no attire that's an invitation to unwanted harassment: touching, photos, anything other infringment of privacy and personal space.
Well typical of chinese tourists
What happens when you leave the village for the first time.
Now Hong Kong is attracting all the low quality tourists who chase away the high quality ones.
It looks a bit like Repulse Bay. My wife and I were there one day, just chilling in the sun, when a tour bus full of mainland Chinese men came down to the beach with camcorders, blatantly ogling all the women sunbathing. It's disgusting!
Why people commenting on superior/inferior culture got called racist?
Textbook example of sexual assault. Of course the boomer mainlanders won't see it that way, and I'm sure they don't think this is an issue at all.
At least they're lining up!
It's always those Chinese old men 🙄 I wish the woman could've just left immediately instead of still sitting there tho.
She was probably scared and didnt wanna cause a scene. There was 4 men surrounding her if they wanted to hurt her they easily couldve
This should be posted in /r/China
EW
Jesus christ I relate to this too much. I was in Brazil last week and did a pink dolphin tour where you're swimming in the river around a guide who uses fish to get them to come over. A group of chinese tourists arrived and joined us and at the end of the tour they swarmed me to take pictures as I was in a bikini, putting their arms around me with big grins. Just all around lack of respect for boundaries and I got dressed so fast.
Meanwhile, HK gov is letting more China people come and attempt to boost the economy. But all they spend in one day is just 40USD, on average.
[удалено]
Call them mainlanders or china. Don't want to be associated with them. I'm Singapore chinese and no local chinese will EVER do this
Ugh that's exactly how I feel watching this video.
The resident tankies would ask how you would know they are Chinese tourists and not local HKers.
Local HKers have seen a white woman before.
I know I sound racist, but really mainlanders have a certain way of dressing and acting that ensures you can spot them from half the world away. You don't even need to smell their cigarette infested breath. Just a look at them is enough to differentiate them from other Asians. The younger generation is a bit more challenging but most of the times I get it right.
Because they are touching this stranger on the beach.
Locals don’t want out on the beach fully clothed!!
you can just tell from how they dress and behave. Its like innate lol
Of course they are mainland chinese I have lived many years in Hong Kong and real Hong Kong people are the most polite people in the world.
I wonder what's driving away all foreign tourist and expats.
Well the Chinese are really famous for not respecting boundaries.
Wtf? Not surprised tbh. Chinese people are known for their ugly behaviour.
Yea and everyone, don't criticise, otherwise we'll be labelled a racist. Happened too many times to anyone calling out on horrible behaviour of Chinese tourists.
Chinese tourist in a nutshell
Don’t touch her! You are not the same age!
Typical chinese. Here in Korea they are the most hated because they act the exact same way. Also, they smell really bad.
This used to happen all the time Pre-COVID. Buses of Mainlanders would unload at Repulse Bay and walk the beaches fully-clothes, while taking pictures with foreigners against their will.
Now stop complaining about America!! You see how well you have it here compared to other countries
The excuse of “oh they’ve never seen other people of that ethnicity in person before” is such bullshit. I’ve never seen a silverback gorilla but I sure as shit won’t be grabbing at one and trying to take a selfie with it if I ever do meet one face to face
“Wow criky!! A wild woman minding her business..” Imma touch it.
Chinese men being deplorable perverts, wow what a surprise!
Anyone who does or defends stuff like this is a scumbag.
Mainland attitude, let the girl enjoy the privacy.
The effects of Mao's great Cultural Revolution first-hand, ladies and genetlemen.
Sick. No one informed the police?
I mean Repulse Bay is known as being the ‘Gweilo Safari’ for MC tourist tours

So creepy
Stop filming and help jesus fking christ
Had a very similar experience at Repulse Bay, the tourists arrive en masse by bus and crowd anyone sitting on the beach, they've taken photos of our kids, tried to sit next to kids to pose, they stand right up on our mats etc... this lady was very patient, they're lucky she doesn't have any mace. We stopped going to that beach altogether.
wtf? they should be charged
This is the inevitable suffering process of pushing forward the ‘Advancing to prosperity’. We'll get very used to it when the process' done.
Seen this multiple times but usually girls would just be aggressive and fend them off even though they keep getting harassed every 10 minutes. This is a different level though putting your hands on people. But hey we need to be welcoming to tourists 😬
Looks like some VIP judging by the entourage. If that's some Chinese political VIP and they call the police the police will arrest her and apologize to him.
When my blue eyed , blonde daughter was 2 , we accompanied my husband in a work trip to Honolulu. I hired the photographer to take some photos of her as a Father’s Day gift. I got her a new dress and some cute accessories. Anyway - as the photog and I were attempting to get her walking along the beach and playing - a group of Chinese tourists (men and women) came along and started taking her picture, We’d move up the beach and they would come with us. Finally the photographer went to talk to them , I thought he’d told them to bugger off. Nope, he told me they were asking if they could hold her for some photos.
The entitlement and ignorance is disgusting.
Lived in HK for a bit. Went to ocean park, ended up having a bunch of Chinese tourists taking my picture. 1 Chinese girl (probs like 20s) missed my cheek as well (I was probably about 11). There was one point we were looking at pandas in the panda enclosure and a bunch of mainlanders started taking pictures. We thought the pictures were of the pandas. They were of my family and I. It's absolutely a cultural thing, or just a lack of social boundaries.
So upsetting.
Will they do this with every non-Chinese person they see or is every white / black / brown person a new novelty to bother?
