Hong Kong tour guide in bus rage incident against Chinese tourists told to explain or else lose licence
Watchdog gives woman filmed throwing a fit on bus two weeks to respond

An agitated Hong Kong tour guide who threw the belongings of mainland Chinese visitors out of their coach might lose her licence if she fails to clarify the incident within two weeks, the industry watchdog says.
In a letter to the guide, surnamed Cui, the Travel Industry Council demanded an explanation within 14 days starting from today, council chairman Michael Wu Siu-ieng said.
Wu said the council had been unable to reach Cui by phone, and if she did not respond to the letter either, the council's tourist guide and tour escort deliberation committee would decide if she should be punished.
"It is possible her licence would be suspended or revoked," he said.
Wu said Cui received her licence in 2005. She was suspended for a month in 2009 after a complaint about her attitude.
In a video clip, Cui is seen throwing a fit at a location believed to be Kwei Chow Street in To Kwa Wan on Wednesday morning.
She yells in Putonghua at a group of people on the pavement while hurling about seven bags out of the tour bus.
Wu said that based on the clip, Cui could have breached the council's code of conduct for tourist guides in behaving inappropriately and damaging the city's image. He said the travel agency believed to be hosting the 23-member mainland group had confirmed Cui was freelancing when she received the tourists on Wednesday for a two-day visit.
The council was trying to locate those tourists via a Shenzhen agency that arranged the tour.
Wu could not confirm news reports that Cui's outburst was sparked by a shopping dispute, as the council had not received any complaint or reached her.
Wong Ka-ngai, chairman of the Tour Guides General Union, said it could not reach Cui either, but he would not pass judgment based only on the clip.
Wong blamed the council for the problematic behaviour of guides as it did not require travel agencies to pay basic salaries, thereby forcing them to rely on commissions.
In 2010, guide Li Hau-chun famously lost her licence after a video showed her ranting at mainland tourists for spending too little at a jewellery shop.

Popular but painful: top 5 cosmetic surgery procedures Chinese tourists want

According to industry insiders, the most popular requests for Chinese patients are double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, fat grafts or transplants, facelifts (above) and double jaw surgery to give a sharper chin.
South Korea is one of the top medical tourism destinations for mainland Chinese tourists. Last year, 56,000 Chinese tourists visited for plastic surgery procedures, an increase of 45 per cent from 25,400 in 2013.
According to industry insiders, the most popular requests for Chinese patients are double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, fat grafts or transplants, facelifts and double jaw surgery to give a sharper chin.
Often, these patients get all their surgeries done at once. “My mainland patients generally request the same surgeries as my Korean patients,” says Dr Cho Soo-young, a board-certified plastic surgeon and spokesperson for the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons.

However Chinese and Korean patients want a different style of features. “Chinese patients want more westernised features, like bigger eyes, taller noses. They want to look like Barbie dolls. Korean patients want more natural, Asian features these days,” says Cho.
“The Korean plastic surgery industry began [to develop] 40-50 years ago,” he says. “Plastic surgery started becoming popular in China only 10 years ago, so the trends for Chinese plastic surgery now are the same as in Korea about 50 years ago.”
Plastic surgery agent Lyan Chang agrees that the Chinese standard of beauty is different.
A doctor marks out surgery sites on the body of a patient before a fat removal procedure.
“Koreans want V-line faces and double jaw surgery [for smaller jaws], [whereas] Chinese clients want to look like Angelababy, with huge double eyelids and long eyelashes.” Angelababy is a Chinese model and actress.
What Chinese and Korean patients do increasingly have in common is the rising rate of revision surgeries, as most procedures will require touchups after a period of time.
Dr Choi Woo-shik, a board-certified plastic surgeon at MVP (Most Valuable Plastic Surgery) Clinic says his Chinese clientele are often going under the knife for the second or third time.
“Many of our clients have already had surgery done in China by Chinese and visiting South Korean doctors.” Dr Cho advises prospective patients to conduct in-depth research before going to Korea.
“It’s important that Chinese patients look for board-certified surgeons when looking to get plastic surgery here,” he adds.
Mainland Chinese media also warn prospective patients against trusting “gold label” plastic surgeons, who advertise regularly on websites, as this is not an actual qualification.
Cho adds that visitors should rely on personal recommendations rather than advertisements for clinics. Experts also advise prospective patients to ensure the clinic is properly equipped and have proper steps on refunds and medical insurance.
Cho also believes that patients must also be realistic when it comes to plastic surgery results.
"All surgeries can carry high risks. Many of them can result in major complications. But the biggest problem is that patients are not satisfied."
They should wait six months for their plastic surgery results to stabilise, he says. “But if there is a problem, the doctor should go to China [to perform] or have the patient come back to do a revision surgery free of cost, says Cho.
Tour guide loses license for scolding visitors
CRI, May 4, 2015
A tour guide in Yunnan's capital Kunming has been stripped of her guide license, following a viral video showing her berating her tour for not shopping enough.
A CCTV screenshot shows Chen Chunyan verbally abusing visitors on the tour bus.
The four-minute video shows the woman threatening to cancel the group's trip to their next cities if they didn't spend more than 3-thousand yuan each on jewelry or souvenirs.
The video also shows the woman threatening that the travel agency would refuse to pay for the tourists' return tickets if any of them failed to meet the shopping quota.
Liu Kunfeng with the Yunnan Tourism says the guide has broken numerous rules.
"First thing, the tour guide forced them to shop, if the video is real, then her words certainly violated the regulation. Secondly, her attitude is terrible. Third, she used abusive language. So based on these aspects, we can say she violated regulations."
Tour guides attempting to force their groups to shop is common practice across many parts of China.

A Chinese tourist has been blacklisted by the mainland tourism authority for 10 years after he was found to have climbed onto the top of a statue of a Red Army soldier to pose for a photograph, the news website Thepaper.cn reports.
A picture of him standing on the top of the statue when visiting a memorial park in Wuqi county, in the northwest province of Shaanxi on April 24, was widely circulated on mainland social media.
The man is the second person in China to be included in the database of badly behaved travellers. Earlier an airline passenger was reported to have been blacklisted after throwing hot water and noodles at a Thai flight attendant.
The database, which is shared by tour agencies, was introduced by the tourism authority in early April as a result of unruly behaviour by some mainland tourists that has made headlines around the world. The authorities have not given details about what specific penalties blacklisted tourists would face.
The memorial park would also be ineligible to apply to be recognised as one of China’s A-rated scenic attractions – the lowest of five rankings awarded by the China National Tourism Administration – for the next two years as a punishment for its negligence, the report said.

China’s aviation authority to produce blacklist of passengers behaving badly on flights
System to be introduced after a series of widely reported incidents of bad behaviour on flights

China’s civil aviation authority is to introduce a blacklist of passengers who behave badly on flights.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China said a system for blacklisting poorly behaved travellers would be ready soon and will be introduced with the help of airlines, travel agents and airports, the state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
The move comes after a series of widely reported incidents of unruly behaviour by Chinese air passengers.
A flight from Thailand to China in December had to turn back after a Chinese passenger threw hot water at the cabin staff because she was not happy with the service.
The woman threatened to jump out of the aircraft and started punching the windows, Xinhua reported.
The China National Tourism Administration announced last month that it would keep records of badly behaved air passengers for two years.
“China’s image has already been tarnished,” the administration said on its website at the time.
The actions of badly-behaved tourists have caused many people to blush with shame and people who behaved badly overseas needed to learn a lesson, the statement said.
Overseas travel has boomed in recent years among increasingly affluent Chinese, who have become the world’s biggest spenders on travel since 2012, according to the UN World Tourism Organisation.
It's a well known fact that money cannot buy class. PRCs, whether rich or have a little bit of money, think everyone else owe them respect and compliance. The same can be said for those fucking ah nehs, especially the northern ones. Now they infest our country, as well as most other developed countries. If only ISIS can change their mandate and just target them, we would be very grateful.
Maybe that's what happened to MH370. There was a riot onboard and someone opened the emergency exit door. And the plane plunged into the South China Sea where it officially lost contact with ground radar.
You know that flight was heading for Shanghai jam packed with uncivilized chinks.
My condolences to the families of the Ang Moh passengers who were on that doomed flight.
It's kind of sad you have to make up such a scenerio.
Crackdown on bad behavior by Chinese air passengers

The Chinese authorities have decided to reign in disorderly behavior among air passengers, announcing new safety rules that ban travelers from occupying seats not assigned to them.
The Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) of China reiterated its determination to crack down on illegal or unsafe behavior by air passengers in a statement released Aug. 12.
The CAA highlighted 11 types of bad behavior, such as blocking security checks and boarding gates, attacking or threatening attacks on crew members and occupying seats not assigned to them, for which people will face fines of up
to 3,000 yuan (US$469) and even detention.
According to the CAA, airport authorities across the country reported 16 violations between late July and early August, including passengers opening airplane doors, fighting in the terminal and smoking during flights.
One man was detained for five days for making a hoax bomb threat when going through a security check at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport in northeastern China Aug. 5.
Another man was arrested and detained for five days after pushing a staff member when going through security checks at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport in central China Aug. 11.
A report about a 12-year-old girl being denied boarding Aug. 6 after she insulted flight attendants also sparked discussion in China.
The amount of problematic behavior, which is rising along with the growing number of overseas trips made by Chinese travelers, has led to calls for stricter regulations.
According to China's three major state-owned carriers–Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines–the number of passengers on their international flights between January and June is estimated to have grown by
20%-40% from last year.
