Tsingtao has alerted Chinese police after a video shows a worker urinating into a tank.

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’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…

      You must have never dealt with Chinese tourists. It’s not racism as much as directly observable behaviour of many Chinese tourists, especially towards other Asians or black people. It shouldn’t be surprising that many people in mainland China are radicalised, and it comes as no surprise that’s how they behave outside their country.

      I don’t think it’s racism and for you to throw that out shows that you missed the forest for the trees.

      Also, who said I calmly watched? It was wild and I thought the guys were dead. I wasn’t calm at all. You’re filling in blanks to my story that are not true. Don’t do that. You assumed a too much and were wrong on every assumption. You could read the other comments in this thread for some confirmation of the problem with Chinese people (not all of them so don’t assume that again).

      So because of your assumptions I feel I need to clarify what I meant. I meant that from the stories I have heard from Thais about the Chinese, they are a real nuisance. I based my opinion on the Thai stories combined with my time in Hong Kong before China took over. Not even that long ago Hong Kong was my favorite place in the world. Then China came and did China things. The culture has changed and the people are different. Obviously not all, that would be an over generalization. There is something going on in Chinese culture that is just as bad as the MAGA in America. Is it racist if I say my fellow Americans are bad? Because I think a sizable portion are.

      I shared that story because it was the most prominent, recent, and relevant but there are plenty of others if you want to hear them. Actually I have a story that happened today about some extremely rude russians. They were obvious draft dodgers and causing problems for those around them. Would that story be racist?
