On the 10th, a post by a Chinese resident in Japan saying, "Today when I rode the train, I heard a familiar sound," was shared on China's social media Xiaohongshu (RED), attracting significant attention.

The poster uploaded a video taken inside a Japanese conventional train. The video shows a woman with children, who appears to be a tourist, sitting in a seat with a suitcase, watching a video on her smartphone with the sound on (without headphones).

The poster wrote, "Today, when I got on the subway, I suddenly heard familiar Chinese and the sound of a video. Sure enough..." and complained, "Can't people who usually play videos and music loudly in (China) just endure it a little when they go abroad? Do they really not notice how quiet Japanese subways are?"

They then politely urged, "Please research the customs and manners of your travel destination before you go out. Thank you."

Furthermore, the poster revealed in the comments section, "The surrounding Japanese people were also watching them the whole time. But they were so engrossed in the video that they didn't realize they were being watched at all." They also added, "They had also placed their suitcase far away (from themselves) and didn't seem to consider inconveniencing others at all."

Chinese netizens commented, "This is awkward in a public place," "Truly embarrassing," "They're Chinese, so everyone's like this," "How can they make such loud noises in a quiet environment like a Japanese train? How thick-skinned are they?" "They think it's just a trip, so even if they do something embarrassing, it'll be fine once they return home. And yet, there are 1 million Chinese people living in Japan," and "Japanese visas seem to still be too cheap."

Additionally, comments pointing out the child's behavior were also seen, such as, "The child sitting next to her also has terrible posture," and "Such people were not disciplined from childhood and cannot discipline their own children. The child sitting next to her is stepping on the seat with their shoes on."

Furthermore, comments included, "It's precisely because there are so many people like this that Chinese people have a bad reputation overseas," "Foreigners' prejudice against Chinese people is not entirely unfounded. The actions of many of our compatriots truly give me a headache. There are also uncultured people among foreigners, but the proportion is completely different," and "Regardless of whether it's overseas or not, such behavior should be rectified." Another comment stated, "This morning, on a bus in Shanghai, a middle school boy was watching a video with sound. The driver warned him 3 times, but he didn't listen, and even when the driver stood up to warn him, he ignored it. The quality of Chinese people is getting worse and worse."
