Laying hands on people?

They are usually quiet. Take tons of photos. Never had a problem with one

Honestly, the mainland Chinese tourists here are generally really annoying! Bad manners, speak very loud, uncouth behavior. They can come off as peasants even though they may $loaded

Also Asian American here..

I've encountered them in both the US and Europe and they're similar in both places. Generally speaking, those traveling in large tour groups will behave the way you described.. not all of them but a good deal of groups have that sort of dynamic. They tend to be far more well behaved when traveling as an individual family though, similar to Americans and other nationalities in manners and overall quality of interactions with others.
