It does seem like a solution. The Chinese aren't restricted to those trains and those trains will have more attention to keep those passengers informed and happy. The news could just as easily have stated it as "Swiss train offers club cars for Chinese tourists!"

Wow... this was the perfect solution. Rather than making the Chinese tourists angry, this measure will attract even more of them to Switzerland, thereby giving valuable revenue for the local communities. Now it is the turn of the Swiss tourism ministry to start their propaganda broadcasts in China, advertising about these new club cars.

not really surprised by the rude part. I know a few native chinese and most of them speaks/acts like they own the world or something. not sure if that alone is enough reason to separate them from other "nicer" people, though.

The same can be said about a lot of different ethnic groups. The Irish were (in)famous for their grumpy behavior during the 1960s and the 1970s. During the 1980s, it was the turn of the Turks, Poles and the Romanians. Now the Chinese, Arabs and the Indians are getting the flak. Within the next 10-20 years, it will be the turn of some other people.

This is in part due to the increased wealth and mobility of the Chinese and Arabs. You do see a lot more of them in international hot spots these days.

Whatever reality might be, this does look a little bit racist.

No, it isn't. This is about adjusting a service for customer demands, and bridging cultural differences

. Banning, or forcing them into separated wagons or even trains because of their Chinese origin that would be racist but that's not happening.

Yeah, this was my first reaction to this story. There is such a deep history of racism and segregation in the US, I highly doubt there is any serious attempt that will be made to segregate public transport. And even if there was, it would more than likely be deemed unconstitutional and shutdown early on.

How is that? Tongue

That's such a burn
It sounds quite amusing I remember they had a concert in the alps it must have been part of that group of tourists that pissed the Swiss off.
(Stood on toilet seats to relive themselves spitting on trains, they were rich enough to travel but poor enough to use squat toilets, I guess culturally they still have a ways to go in terms of what the international traveler should act like.)

You don't need to go to Switzerland to experience that. Visit a China town near you and you can tell which tourist is from China. Their government should force them through a "cultural" course before allowing them to visit foreign countries. Wink

These mainland Chinese are infamous for their rude behavior. If you visit countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore, this can be very evident. Although both these nations are overwhelmingly ethnic Chinese, they regard the mainlanders (i.e the ethnic Chinese from the People's Republic of China) as arrogant and rude.
