These types of crimes should never be tolerated. They show our culture levels and few rotten apples can spoil the entire lot.
China has boosted the tourism many fold. The entire system is highly tuned for success and foolproof. Any misdemeanors severely dealt and generally everything works like clock work.
Though we are a demo crazy, we still have to have basic discipline & decency at all levels. We always shout about our culture, but these actions can sully our reputations no end. We try to depict women at a high pedestal, but the ground reality can be the opposite.
Another issue is the beggar nuisance pestering tourists. Many take advantage, as it is easy money. Unless we act, we can only sit back and dream about the success of China in hosting Olympics, F1, Tennis Masters etc. We are far behind in every aspect that matters.
One cannot succeed without certain sacrifices. Let us get out of the reverie and applaud strong actions with zero political upmanship and interferences.
