A senior Communist Party official says that 'uncivilised behaviour' by Chinese tourists is harming China's image abroad.
Wang Yang, one of the country's four vice-prime ministers, said holidaymakers should be more polite, singling out talking loudly and spitting as poor behaviour by his fellow citizens.
It was revealed last month that the Chinese are the world's biggest spending tourists, splashing out $102billion on foreign trips in 2012, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation.
一位GCD高级官员声称中国游客的不文明行为正在损害中国的国家形象。
汪洋，中国的副总理说在国外旅游的中国游客们应当注意礼貌，避免大声说话及随地吐痰等劣行。
根据上个月联合国世界旅游组织的最新数据显示，中国人是世界上最大手大脚的游客，在2012年的出国旅游购物中总共
Chinese tourists make 83million trips abroad last year, compared with only 10million in 2000, becoming the single biggest source of global tourism income.
Writing in the official party newspaper People's Daily, Mr Wang said: 'Improving the civilised quality of the citizens and building a good image of Chinese tourists are the obligations of government at all levels and relevant agencies and companies.'
He said Chinese authorities should 'guide tourists to conscientiously abide by public order and social ethics, respect local religious beliefs and customs, mind their speech and behaviour... and protect the environment'.
去年中国出境旅游人数为8300万人次，而在2000年的时候这个数字只有1000万人次，成为全球旅游收入得最大来源。中国官方报纸人民日报刊登了汪洋的讲话，他说道“提高中国公民的文明程度，构建中国旅游者的良好形象是政府各部门和相关机构的共同目标”。他说中国当局应该指导中国游客自觉遵守公共秩序和社会道德，尊重当地的宗教信仰和习俗，注意自己的言行，并且注意保护环境。
However, some Chinese tourists say they are treated 'like second-class citizens' when they are abroad.
'Chinese internet forums were flooded with protests earlier this year when news emerged that a hotel in the Maldives had removed kettles from rooms occupied by Chinese tourists,' said the BBC's Beiijing correspondent Celia Hatton.
'Apparently, the hotel's manager was upset that some Chinese tourists were using boiling water to eat instant noodles in their rooms, instead of spending money in the hotel's restaurants.'
1、I've never met an uncivilised Chinese person. Every single one I've ever met was both polite and respectful. And how often do we see immigrants from oriental countries in our news causing crimes? Not very often if at all. I have certain issues with some immigrant groups who come to the UK but the Chinese aren't one of them.
3、A good move. Perhaps the Korean government could do the same for Korean tourists.
一个好的做法。希望韩国政府也对他们的游客做类似的事情。
4、It's about time someone told them to stop acting in that dreadfully rude manner, if only other countries would follow suit (including the US)...
确实到了应该有人告诉他们停止做那些粗鲁行为的时候了，要是其他国家也这样做就好了，包括美国。
5、I totally agree with that! I'm of Chinese descent and it is true that there are rude impolite Chinese people out there that ruin it for the rest of us. People see us and they instantly think we are bad mannered like the rest of them! If all of them actually make an effort to change their manners, I think people would be more welcoming and accepting towards the Chinese. Sadly, these changes are going to take some time...
6、The worst behaved tourists I have ever seen in London are French school parties in museums.
我在伦敦见过的最差的游客是在博物馆里的法国学生
7、guide tourists to conscientiously abide by public order and social ethics, respect local religious beliefs and customs, mind their speech and behaviour... and protect the environment'". Good advice to all tourists no matter where you are from or where you are visiting.
8、I'm pretty sure it's the uncivilized behavior of the Chinese government that hurts its image abroad, not the tourists.
我很确定是不文明的中国政府毁了中国在国外的形象，而不是中国游客。
9、I have nothing but respect for all the chinese tourists I've met. All were polite and spoke English very well, which is a lot better than many of the other more permanent visitors we have over here.
10、That's very good advice he's given, but I've actually never met a Chinese person who doesn't have manners (I'm sure there are some who are uncivilized, but I don't remember meeting one). We know there are plenty of people in the UK who don't "respect local religious beliefs and customs, mind their speech and behaviour" but the Chinese can't be accused of this.
11、Chinese tourists are not in anyway harming China's image abroad. Always seem polite, dignified people and give a far better impression in other countries that Brits do abroad...probably.
12、If you think the Chinese are rude, you should see the Russians
如果你认为中国人粗鲁，那你应该去看看俄国人什么样
13、I have never seen a Chinese tourists or students misbehaving in Paris. The only little problem is that when they visit the capital in groups...large and compact groups, they sometimes obstruct the entrances or the pavement.
14、Chinese tourists have never offended me in London. I think they are a credit to China
中国游客在伦敦从来没有冒犯过我，我认为他们可以代表中国的形象
15、Chinese people are among the most polite hard working people we have here, I have never had any problem with them, tourist's or immigrants.
中国人是我们这里最有礼貌和最勤劳的人了，我对他们毫无意见，无论是游客还是移民。
16、many youths in UK talk very loud in public, they spit on the floor.
很多英国年轻人在公共场合大声喧哗，在地板上吐痰
17、What are Chinese officials talking about? Rude and unruly behavior are staples of British custom particularly during the weekend.
中国的官员在讲什么呢？粗鲁和不守规矩可是英国的习俗，尤其是到了周末的时候
18、Maybe the British government should do the same for the Brits. They have to be the worst in the world.
也许英国政府也应该向英国人做同样的事情，他们可能是这个世界上最差的游客了
19、Perhaps Mr Cameron could remind British tourists abroad to behave decently, Magaluf for example, you can't imagine what the Spanish think of the Brits here. For most of them it is a no go area.
20、The English, rightly or wrongly, are regarded as among the most ignorant and obnoxious tourists in Europe. I always make a point to let people know I'm Irish, they always treat you better when they know you're not English.
英国5毛。。。
