    The Great Wall might be a source of national pride (and it should be), but the government and the people really do not do enough to protect it. Their outrage definitely feels hypocritical.

    Well you seem to be annoyed about something you clearly have very little information about. Do you know if that section of the wall permits writing? There is clearly sections devoted to people signing their name. Are they breaking the law or is it permitted? Do you know?

    This a prime example of fake social media outrage, if we can even call it that.

    Eh, the Mainland Chinese aren't the best tourists either. (And they like to poop in public too)

    A lot of those did not go through any form of education. And when they it is just until junior high.

    Nobody said China has a double standard.

    Just because there are other idiots there, doesn't make Bobby's action to be right.

    Well,

    You sound exactly like Trump.

    C'mon, Bill had said much worse things to me on the golf course.

    Way to go.

    China is like the Soviet Union, I hope it breaks apart sooner or later.

    Wow. What an idiot. When I heard on the radio a teaser for "something a Houston Rockets player did in China that has everyone talking," I thought for sure they were making fun of the granny free throw...

    i equate this to a dog walker letting his dog poop in my yard. It is my yard , how i take care of it is not your concern, but you will not poop in my yard.

    Honestly, while there is a lot of truth to this, I'm in favor of people getting less outraged over things in general.

    Get outraged over war, human rights abuses, and authoritarianism, etc, but let's see if we can't spare our outrage for every dumb action and thought of other people.

    It's not cool, and China has a right to be upset, but I'm not finding a strong reason for myself to be outraged.

    He wrote.... in chalk.... on the fake area of the Great Wall. There shouldn't even be a controversy.

    Also Chinese... stop breaking ****, stop taking dumps/pissing wherever you please and stop coming to college in the USA and cheating habitually on your examinations.

    I know it's his perogative to write on the Great Wall, that being said, he needs to watch every little step he makes moving forward... :D

    I equate this to someone writing something harmless with washable chalk on cement. IDGAF.

    There is no reason to even think about bringing chalk unless it's a common thing...which it is. The dude lived there for 3 years so I'm guessing he knew it was commonplace and didn't think it was a big deal.

    when i visited there was one 10ft stretch of wall that had dozens of messages carved into it, the typical "xxxx was here" "xxxx loves xxxx" stuff.......didn't seem like a big deal to anyone, including chinese tourists who were joining in
