Chinese Graffiti on Egyptian Historical Site Goes Viral in China
Chinese government doesn't want Chinese tourists to embarrass the country
A picture of a graffiti that a Chinese boy wrote on one of Egypt's grandest Pharaohnic temples went viral on Chinese social media over the weekend, stirring debate in that country over whether the legions of inexperienced tourists it sends abroad each year is replacing the old image of the "ugly American" with that of the "ugly Chinese."
The photo was posted on Friday by a fellow Chinese tourist, who was outraged to find that a countryman had defaced the monument.
