So what? Being rude is being rude, and like I edited in above, if it's in their culture to act in a manner that is considered rude pretty much everywhere else in the world, then their culture needs to be changed.
Considering the Chinese government is obviously trying to change their behaviour, it seems they themselves are rather embarrassed by it and it's likely not something to be excused by culture.
