The UK may be nationalistic but we are not arrogant like Americans. We don't go round saying "god bless the uk".

I watched a video recently and this woman at the airport couldn't get on her flight so she said "this is America, the land of free".. Ok whatever as if America is free and everywhere else is a bombshell. This is an example of being arrogant! There is a difference.

It basically says that Chinese people have been verbally abusing this actor from Hong Kong because he agreed with the students' actions,and they demanded the producer of his movie to cut off all his scenes if he wanted the film to be released in China.

Another event,also took place rather recently.There was a little Chinese boy in Hong Kong with his parents and his mom let the boy poo on the street,then some miner conflicts happened.Again Chinese people started to badmouth Hong Kong,said stuffs like Hong Kongers are so full of themselves or you Hong Kong people'd better not have any kid etc.,as if pooing on the street is a right thing to do.

It's just two cases though,you can always disagree with me,but it's sort of a general belief in Taiwan that people in Mainland China can be very disrespectful and...childish.
