Chinese authorities are investigating after a viral video appeared to show a worker from Tsingtao urinating into a tank, believed to contain ingredients for its popular beer.

The clip has received tens of millions of views on social media.

The company said it alerted police immediately after the video came to its attention, adding that the batch of ingredients had been sealed.

Tsingtao is one of China’s top beer producers and its biggest exporter.

    I’m currently in Thailand and saw a couple of arrogant Chinese get ruthlessly beaten by street justice. They had been talking shit about everyone all night and then started being physical. It took seconds for there to be dozens of Thai people beating them worse than I have ever seen someone beaten. It was really bad. I’d be surprised if they lived. By the time the police came both Chinese were completely unconscious on the ground with blood everywhere. Nobody was taken into custody other than the Chinese guys.

    When talking with people after it happened they mostly agreed that Chinese people have been the problem causers more than other tourists. There seems to have been a major shift in Chinese culture over the past few years and most of them seem to have a massive superiority complex.

    I used to think it was the CCP that made China a bad place but it seems it’s the people as well.

      It’s because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It’s going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

      The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.

      I’d like to point out a couple things:

      • You took an article about one Chinese dude being an asshole and took a massive detour to tell your story in which:
      • You saw two Chinese people acting like assholes and proceeded to judge Chinese people in general for it

      I’m not one to rush to play this “card”, but that’s literal racism.

      I know you also factored in the reactions of the other people. (Not even going to go into what kind of person calmly watches two humans get brutally beaten maybe-to-death.) But imagine if this happened in the US. With our difficult history, let’s say it was 2 black people. There’s a certain kind of person who would hang around afterwards, spouting information about that race and their perception of them. Just some food for thought…
