Chinese authorities are investigating after a viral video appeared to show a worker from Tsingtao urinating into a tank, believed to contain ingredients for its popular beer.

The clip has received tens of millions of views on social media.

The company said it alerted police immediately after the video came to its attention, adding that the batch of ingredients had been sealed.

Tsingtao is one of China’s top beer producers and its biggest exporter.

    I’m currently in Thailand and saw a couple of arrogant Chinese get ruthlessly beaten by street justice. They had been talking shit about everyone all night and then started being physical. It took seconds for there to be dozens of Thai people beating them worse than I have ever seen someone beaten. It was really bad. I’d be surprised if they lived. By the time the police came both Chinese were completely unconscious on the ground with blood everywhere. Nobody was taken into custody other than the Chinese guys.

    When talking with people after it happened they mostly agreed that Chinese people have been the problem causers more than other tourists. There seems to have been a major shift in Chinese culture over the past few years and most of them seem to have a massive superiority complex.

    I used to think it was the CCP that made China a bad place but it seems it’s the people as well.

          Kinda sounds like there were a fair number of Thai assholes around too.

            Is that your take away?

            They didn’t do shit and let the Chinese guys do and say what they wanted. It was not until the Chinese people became physical that the Thais put them in their place.

            I’d say the Thais were very restrained in their handling of the situation overall.

            Don’t start shit, won’t be shit.

      It’s because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It’s going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

      The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.

      I’d like to point out a couple things:

      • You took an article about one Chinese dude being an asshole and took a massive detour to tell your story in which:
      • You saw two Chinese people acting like assholes and proceeded to judge Chinese people in general for it

      I’m not one to rush to play this “card”, but that’s literal racism.

      I know you also factored in the reactions of the other people. (Not even going to go into what kind of person calmly watches two humans get brutally beaten maybe-to-death.) But imagine if this happened in the US. With our difficult history, let’s say it was 2 black people. There’s a certain kind of person who would hang around afterwards, spouting information about that race and their perception of them. Just some food for thought…

        I don’t think it’s racism and for you to throw that out shows that you missed the forest for the trees.

        Also, who said I calmly watched? It was wild and I thought the guys were dead. I wasn’t calm at all. You’re filling in blanks to my story that are not true. Don’t do that. You assumed a too much and were wrong on every assumption. You could read the other comments in this thread for some confirmation of the problem with Chinese people (not all of them so don’t assume that again).

        So because of your assumptions I feel I need to clarify what I meant. I meant that from the stories I have heard from Thais about the Chinese, they are a real nuisance. I based my opinion on the Thai stories combined with my time in Hong Kong before China took over. Not even that long ago Hong Kong was my favorite place in the world. Then China came and did China things. The culture has changed and the people are different. Obviously not all, that would be an over generalization. There is something going on in Chinese culture that is just as bad as the MAGA in America. Is it racist if I say my fellow Americans are bad? Because I think a sizable portion are.

        I shared that story because it was the most prominent, recent, and relevant but there are plenty of others if you want to hear them. Actually I have a story that happened today about some extremely rude russians. They were obvious draft dodgers and causing problems for those around them. Would that story be racist?

        You must have never dealt with Chinese tourists. It’s not racism as much as directly observable behaviour of many Chinese tourists, especially towards other Asians or black people. It shouldn’t be surprising that many people in mainland China are radicalised, and it comes as no surprise that’s how they behave outside their country.
