It's not just the CCP that is getting a bad rap from the non-Panda media elsewhere, but the actions and activities of the mainland immigrants from China (this does not include Chinese from Taiwan, Hong Kong etc; they are more civilized). I've gotten fairly extreme rudeness on 2 or 3 occasions from mainland Chinese while i was travelling in SE Asia, and I came to the conclusion that it was deliberate and aimed at me racially, because I am a white Caucasian. I'll go further on their lack of manners. There were a family of Chinese (I know it's Chinese, even if I understand few words) sitting around me in a domestic flight across Australia. These people were outstandingly rude in comparison to other Australians and other recent immigrants (such as Indians etc.), likewise sharing the long plane flight. They spoke loudly and continually to each other for the whole flight, as if they were on a busy street or noisy crowded area, which they were not. Furthermore, one of them played a violent video (with excessive swearing) on their phone or tablet, towards the end of the flight for several minutes, at an unnecessarily loud volume. These people are a objective lesson why mainland Chinese may well be louts who, unlike other immigrant groups, outwear their acceptance in their chosen county they migrate to.

Sy Fan Mr Fan, i am not anti Chinese. I like your food, beverages and fabrics, I am interested in the long history of Chinese and China and I have an appreciation of the aesthetics of the Pagoda and classical Chinese architecture. I consider that historically the Opium Wars were a scandal at best, also symbolic of Victorian expansionism and racism from that era. However, I don't like the CCP and from my reading of Mao Zedong era which went on to damage China culturally, and materially and Mao and his cronies who emphasized that good manners were effeminate and a function of learned and capitalist classes. The result was, leaving in its wake from the Cultural Revolution in particular, masses of louts in that generation of Chinese in which good manners was bad form. The Chinese people around me in the plane were middle aged, probably "educated" by the Mao era and suspicious and disdainful of capitalist roaders anyway, or at least autistic to that fact that Australia is a free multicultural country and good manners to strangers is a good survival tactic and better social lubricant.
