Q: Can China not tell they have worst tourists when they are despised even by North Korea?

China has some bad tourists, bad international reputation. Pride of China may prevent people from accepting this,but even north Koreans do not like Chinese tourists who are known to throw candy at NK children. 

 

China is HK's only ally in the region, its biggest economic partner, largest source of tourism - can China admit being bad tourists now?

Scandinavian:

well, none of those articles says the tourists do not clap sufficiently, which is one of the biggest no-no's in North Korean culture, so I don't see what the problem is.

They did actually. I saw a sort of a manual for chinese tourists written by the government and designed to teach chinese how to behave when abroad.

Mateusz:

Well, we all know how well Chinese follow written directions. This will be as big a success as the "No Smoking" signs, or the "Please Do Not Touch" signs on statues.

At least they managed to see the problem. Better than nothing. I wish someone could find that manual, I remember some parts of it were pretty funny.

Hotels in Thailand implemented the beginning of a fix: separate floors for Chinese so they don't disturb the other guests.

 

The next step would be for travel agencies to design exclusive travel tours, special zones surrendered by authorities that anyone could avoid easily, and maybe fill them with some local actors here and there who would be paid to endure. Anyway they're here for the V pictures in front of whatever can prove they were there, not the relaxing, enjoyement or cultural exchange, so no need to be afraid of complaints.

Ah yes, North Korea. Everyone's model for how to treat family members who annoy you.

when I was a teen we threw hard candy and chewing gum down from our hotel room window to  kids on the street in Moscow,  but as we were enterprising Yankee's we made them throw us those little pot-metal medals the Soviets used to wear in exchange for us giving them the coveted Wrigley's...  ah, good times....

In the defense of the DPRK, North-Korean tourists never been a problem, not *one* complaint about them.

Well, of course, there are no complaints, honey lamb, because the Complaint Board is very efficient in dealing with such matters, but perhaps not in a manner to which we all are accustomed.

the most bizarre thing when i went to north korea was travelling for 2 hours on a bus and only seeing trucks and no cars, not a single one, reminded me of watching the twilight zone years ago. maybe change a little from 1987 to the present and most people were proud of their bike and black and white television.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
