But the western media always report the negative image of Chinese tourists, such as speaking very loudly in the public places, or throwing rubbish away. This image is very classic and many foreigners believe that Chinese tourists are rude. In fact, the cultural difference makes this happen. For instance, in the west, people will put the dishes to the right place before they leave, while Chinese people will just walk away. But in China, it is the waiters’ job to do it. What's more, the news that is reported by the media tend to be bad, so as to catch more attention. In fact, the Chinese young generation behave themselves well in the public place.
