To be more specific, I think it says a lot about the general attitude of people that have grown up under the CCP, and the 'take what you can get or starve' environment they've fostered.
It's seen in other ways like lack of queuing, littering, and the general corruption throughout all levels of bureaucracy.
The attitude is far less pervasive in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, or other countries with significant Chinese populations.
- leafboi 6y agoFor sure, thanks for being more specific. I definitely noticed the overall attitude is generally different for Asians who are not of Chinese Nationality.

- muleroid 6y agoI'm not sure it's fair to place the blame solely on the CCP. A lot of the less desirable behavior stemmed from scarcity of resources, especially when the country was poor. Can't comment too much on corruption as I don't have much experience there, but I have noticed things like lining up and littering get better as the standard of living has improved over the years.
