I recall being wet leased to Air China and some passengers carried guns. The flights were domestic.

OICUR12again has it ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON.
Unless you have lived and worked in the region it is hard to fathom. The Chinese are unbelievable with their behaviour when things go astray - be it weather or whatever. They don't care, they riot. And usually the ground staff scarper, turn off handheld radios, take phones off the hook - anything to avoid being involved, or doing their job. Same goes for police and airport security.
Once in KA, I took ill suddenly. On descent into a Chinese port I started to feel poorly. During the turnaround I neary fainted during the walkaround. Once back in the cockpit, with the door open, I started hurling violently. All the pax could hear me chundering. Clearly I could not continue. But the riot that ensued. Disgraceful human behaviour.
Ask any KA guys about what they had to deal with during the Air China wet leases 6 or so years ago. Crews locked in the cockpit for their own safety, escaping through the E&A bay onto the tarmac due to Chinese kicking in the cockpit door.
Unless you've been there, you've got no idea. The Chinese are on their own disgraceful planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a fair degree of sinophobia.
If mainland passengers are misbehaving, tell Beijing ATC you have pro-democracy protesters on board, and you will be met by shock troops from the PLA's 27th army upon arrival.

Trevor isn't really exaggerating. I'm a Singaporean and have worked and travelled around China a lot. These sorts of things are regular occurrences in Chinese airports. Once flights are delayed, the entire mass of pax just lunge forward towards the duty manager, threatening this that and other.
Singaporeans and Hong Kongers can't stand such behaviour from mainland Chinese. Remember they were largely peasants 50 years ago, so it would take some time for the behaviour to evolve, and I think Singaporeans and Hong Kongers behaved like that 50 years ago, after all we are descendants of peasant stock!
