They aren’t anecdotes. They are news stories, and the incidents have gotten so common that the government has published “how to be a polite tourist” pamphlets for tourists and the airlines now have a “blacklist” of unruly passengers who are barred from flying. The latest incident was in Singapore’s Changi Airport, where a Chinese tour group was met by members of the Chinese embassy and Singaporean foreign ministry, who gave them them brochures on how to behave while in Singapore.

OK, I’m just wary of stereotyping people based on stories on the internet. That is what he alt-right does. I’m particularly sensitive to the way the Chinese are being attacked by Trump because my kids are Chinese, not that Trump’s attacks on them are any more or less worse than his racist attacks on Mexicans, African-Americans and Jews.
