The cutting in line isn't uncommon in the world since some Arabic nations, for example, are as horrifying; the resemblance to the old Nazi German society which you have mentioned before, however, is deadly menacing.

Neo-totalitarian and self-centered leadership and the use of history to boost egotistic agenda are some of the common misdeeds in both nations. Look at the current territorial disputes that China is having in South China Sea for instance and read into it how this country's leadership identifies its rights to land/sea ownerships with the Chinese history which is what Nazi German leadership did pointing to its pre-war Reich territory. In the Chinese example, to initiate a quick development of his nation after failures to feed people and to take some land back from Russia and Vietnam in 1979, Deng Xiao Ping opened up to capitalism. When he realized the numbers of his soldiers did not matter, he initiated the monumental development of China by opening up to the world and by fast tracking some business sectors to create the artificial prosperity which many developed nations believed was the true free market attempt. Chinese farmers get their cash flow from the government just like German farmers have got when Hitler took money from Jews and gave it to his farmers; the Chinese leadership is using other sections of society as scapegoats similarly to the 1930s Nazi German leader who prosecuted just about anyone who challenged him.

Anyhow, sadly enough, Americans have played a major role in the instances of the Nazi German and the neo-totalitarian Chinese. The artificial prosperity, prompted by American goodwill and loans, before the Second World War in Germany correlates worryingly with the US-China cooperation after Mao Zedong era.

To bring my message back to the topic, the revolt against Chinese tourists is only an indicator of how much the international community is frustrated with the Chinese manners; it also uncovers how the country’s society has developed since Deng Xiaoping and how the nation’s educational system has cultivated Chinese people whose standards are following their leader and making money mostly.
