@Kay No: what I'm referring to (not that I have travelled in the Asian nations) is the cultural differences, which I have picked up on through TV, word of mouth etc. I think that this goes beyond politics. The Japanese seem a bit like the British, with an even higher regard for politeness, and etiquette, and delicacy. (Just go watch a Studio Ghibli movie and say that's not so.🙂)
Whereas the Chinese seem happy to be - ruder. (Maybe this is part of peasant culture in their nation, idk.) The thing that comes to my mind in this regard, is a couple of tourist information films, that the Australian government felt compelled to make, a few years ago, featuring humorous characters in panda suits. These were meant to represent Chinese tourists urinating on trees in parks (!) 😁, pushing to the front in bus queues etc. They were meant to gently guilt trip said tourists into better behaviour. Look it up if you don't believe me!
