@lilychau1671 absolutely false, integrity and the belief in a common good and rules is in the heart of achieving something. Greed and demanding is in the heart of pirates and other bandits associations.

@lilychau1671 First of all Taiwan is not part of Han China at all, neither is Tibet and East Turkmenistan. Second you logic is sophism, it's irreceivable. Just because you lived in a communist country and people did not behave like in this video proves nothing. However what I said is true and proved true over many successful countries over history. " integrity and the belief in a common good and rules is in the heart of achieving something. Greed and demanding is in the heart of pirates and other bandits associations." I am not excusing the behavior of these chinese but i understand they live under overpopulation stress, and a corrupt system of officials locally and all the way to Beijing. This leads to chaos and anarchy. You don't like it, you will see more of it in the future.

This explains the attitude of Imperial Japanese towards Chinese in the 20th century. How can anyone respect people like these ? Overpopulation is what makes Chinese people misbehave. Stealing that box from the little girl really irritated me.

Their parents were closer to the famine years of communist china. Also it's always the aunties more than the men.

Wrong, this does not boils down to parental care, it is a multi generational societal issue that stems from communism corruption, lies and overpopulation since Mao.

@lilychau1671 Okay i found we miscommunicated because your first statement was not properly put in the context of resistance to oppression but was phrased as as a general rule for any society which is false. Integrity and working toward a common good is the necessity for any society to achieve a great nation, there will be example in the golden age of any past successful country/nation. But when people are trapped in an unjust oppressive system under a corrupt, ruthless false elite then retaliation even chaos is justified i agree.

@lilychau1671 Honestly your English is broken and whatever you are trying to say did not get through.

@patrickt49 No, even so, it affected every Chinese. The communist cooperatives system forced people to work for the state who took most of the harvest and let uneducated peasant to starve to death. That is where they learned to steal and hide grain to survive. Also the mad quotas demanded by the communist party forced locals to lie about quantity harvested to not get blamed as nobody dared to oppose the officials no matter how unrealistic and nonsense their agrarian revolution policy was. It is well known that even famine had to be hidden from top officials or it would have outraged them and they would still refuse to take the blame and accuse mid level officials of corruption or incompetence. These people went through real starvation for years, ate tree bark or anything that crawls has four legs and is not a table. Even decades later when food was readily available it was still deeply ingrained in Chinese society that getting extra free food was necessary and they passed that mentality to their children and grand children who are now the misbehaving aunties. This is definitively the result of Mao's China generations later.

Uh ? are you 100 years old ? This behavior is the result of the Chinese communism cooperatives and Mao depletion of all cultural good manners.

valid comment, but misses the main reason : their overpopulation. When you put two many rats in an experimental local the same happens above a population threshold they become behaving like this.

also explains the low quality of "made in China". No integrity, no shame.
