Passengers throw food, slap staff over flight delay
Such cases can result in a type of non-criminal detention without trial for as long as two weeks.
Concerned over such incidents on the ground and in the air, China's government has created a black list for airline passengers found to be acting disruptively or dangerously. The list is made public, and airlines, hotels and other travel professionals can use such a designation as grounds for refusing service.

Totally unacceptable behaviour..
It seems that airline tickets need to go up; so that a better class of customer might be encouraged!

Paxing All Over The World
On my recent trip to Oz, the groups of Chinese were to be avoided. At places of interest they crowded forward without consideration of others. On board aircraft, they had no concept of quick boarding, how to stow hand luggage, and would swap seats on a whim. They talked loudly and stood up when the seat belt sign was on. The CC knew that there was little they could do as none spoke English and clung to their guide to the exclusion and hindrance of other pax.
I'd some trouble with a Chinese tourist in London. She kept trying to push me out of the way until I explained to her that she wasn't in HK now and when she said "You not gentleman!" I had to explain that 'ladies make gentlemen.'
Toodle pip!
Toodle pip!
Paxing All Over The World
It would make interesting research:
- Have Chinese people always been taught that the rest of the world is inferior
- Have Chinese people only been taught that the rest of the world is inferior since the Xinhai Revolution of 1911
- Are they as rude to each other as to us
Was in Thailand a few months ago, visiting family. The Chinese seem totally oblivious to anything going on more than 1m from where they are standing. I have seen groups of females standing in the middle of a busy intersection in the old city in Chiang Mai, taking photos as the already mad drivers in that city get even madder.

Apropos Load Toad's post above...
It's important to understand that we're dealing with an issue of CULTURE here, rather than race.
So, before some hand-wringer comes on here and starts squealing about 'racism', there is a difference, you know.
Ethnic Chinese friends of mine often comment on the appallingly ignorant attitude and behaviour of the mainlanders, in particular.
BTW, Heathrow Harry's answer was spot-on.
