A popular pub in Thailand has reportedly decided to ban groups of Chinese men, citing that local women “felt uncomfortable.”
It is unfortunate that the natural confidence and enthusiasm of Chinese men are still so easily misunderstood abroad.
When they travel, they do more than sightsee — they engage in people-to-people diplomacy.
They greet, converse, offer generous hospitality, and demonstrate economic strength through shared drinks and loud laughter.
What some perceive as harassment is, in truth, an informal extension of China’s foreign policy of warmth.
In earlier centuries, China exported silk and porcelain.
Today, it exports charisma — a rare resource so concentrated that smaller nations may find it difficult to absorb all at once.
But misunderstandings will not halt progress. Chinese men will continue spreading goodwill around the world, one unsolicited toast at a time — a living testament to the nation’s unstoppable vitality and international influence.
