I'm sure they are better now that they are travelling more. They better be. I know a few hotel managers in Richmond/Vancouver and when they first starting getting Mainland Chinese tourists, they would take everything from the hotel room. Pillow cases, desk lamps, coathangers, hair dryers, and yes even shower curtains. It was like a pack of "locusts" went by....
Anyways back to my last experience there. 40 year old grown men knocked my 6 year old over running to the line for the Toy Story ride. Saw 3 fights started at Ocean Park for i think budging in line.. where 2 of them had to get security to escort them out. Waiting in line at Disney some little kid needed to pee so his mom pulls down his pants and he starts pissing into bushes while we were waiting in line.
I mean some HK people are rude too. This 80 year old hk lady poked me in the calf a few times with her umbrella because i was walking to slow. Prob deserved it as i was carrying a huge backpack and it was +35c.

So you have a handful of anecdotal experiences of a certain group of people (mind you, a group from a population that is 40X that of Canada and therefore you are much more likely to run into #######s from that group) and you decide to paint the entire group with disgusting racial slur like language. Also, as for your friends in the hotel industry that say Chinese people stole items. I highly doubt that all of them, even more than a small minority of them did the same thing. However, because they look different than you and speak a different language, it becomes salacious and sensational to say "look at that entire group of people we are better than" based on the actions of a few. That's what disgusts me about the whole thing. White people do something immoral and the reaction is "oh that person must be mentally ill" or some other justification that contains the action to the individual. Not white? Oh the entire ethnicity must be inferior. It's nothing more than racism and you know it. Although I suppose there is nothing anyone can do about it as the pervasive primal human tribal mindset is still wired to gain acceptance into the in-group and ostracize the out-group.
