It seems like patronizing others is more important to you than offering actual, helpful advice. I would say that pocketing the money is something that is quite uncriminal when compared with the general attitude displayed by the police of telling Pete to "not call" his consulate. Considering he was assaulted unless he is blatantly lying then Pete is the victim of a crime that carries felony charges in the USA where both he and I are from.

Said poster didn't try to flaunt his Americaness, he was only giving information. He also suggested setting up a supporting network. What solutions have you brought to the table with these situations that actually help expats out, Kevin??? Just your contemptuous attitude towards people who are American shows more about your stereotyping nature that has come up all too much, too often in the past.

You nitpick a person's actions and you devote not 1 word to discuss the chinese that did this to him. It seems like you're back to your old, trolling ways. Old habits die hard indeed, eh?
