It seems that adapting, in the way possible, the customs of a country when it is going to make tourism is not fulfilled in the case of the Chinese. It is not that we say it, but it is what your own government thinks that they have already announced their intention to educate visitors who leave the Asian country, because they consider that sometimes they do not meet the minimum civic rules that should.
The Chinese government is preparing a law that it would allow regulating that education that they want to give to tourists and that, according to everything seems to indicate, it will go ahead as curious as it may seem. So much so that it seems that it could start to be launched next October and that, in addition, it includes penalties for those who do not abide by the manners that are presupposed towards the traditions of the country.
It is not only a sentiment expressed by the Chinese government, to the disagreement of its own inhabitants, but more and more critics from tourism companies, mainly based in Europe, that criticize the behavior of Chinese citizens when traveling abroad.
Among other niceties they are accused of being scandalous when they talk to each other, sambenito that until now we had the Italians and the Spanish; as well as not having respect for works of art from other countries, in many cases millennia old. There are those who ugly their hygienic customs, or rather the absence of them.

This Chinese law is not as novel as it might seem, although it is somewhat old. Half a century ago in Japan a similar regulation to try to correct the uncivic behaviors of their compatriots when they traveled abroad. It seems that it was achieved.
