China restaurant bans Asian maritime dispute citizens

BBC
27 February 2013



A Beijing restaurant is refusing to serve customers from three Asian neighbours currently involved in simmering maritime disputes with China.

The Beijing Snacks restaurant posted a notice saying that Japanese, Filipino and Vietnamese patrons are not welcome - and neither are dogs.

The move provoked an angry reaction, with online commenters accusing the restaurant of "extremism" and "racism".

An official at Beijing's Vietnamese embassy called the sign "unacceptable".

Vietnamese authorities "would take appropriate action to ensure that all sides respect and protect bilateral friendship", the official told the BBC.

The sign posted in the window of Beijing Snacks makes its intention clear in both Chinese and English.

"This shop does not receive the Japanese, the Philippines [sic], the Vietnamese, and dog", it says.

All three nations are involved in long-running maritime disputes with China over national boundaries in the East and South China Seas.

Mostly recently Beijing has been arguing with Tokyo over the Senkaku Islands - known as the Diaoyu Islands in Chinese - which are controlled by Japan but claimed by China.

Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan are also in dispute with China over the sovereignty of islands in the South China Sea.

Anti-China rallies were held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in December amid mounting frustration with Beijing.

Owner defiant

Some of that antipathy appeared to have been renewed by the restaurant sign, with thousands of posts on Vietnamese social networking sites and newspaper comment threads.

"The owner of the restaurant has obviously been brainwashed by their [China's] government," Facebook user Chung Pham wrote, according to the AFP news agency.

The state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper described the sign as an example of "extreme nationalism".

Web users in the Philippines were also reported to be angry, but there was no word of any official reaction.

In Beijing the restaurant owner, who gave his name only as Wang, told AFP he had not been asked to remove the sign by any officials.

"This is my own conduct," he told the news agency.

on the other hand, SO WHAT? 

1) the better that they won't get my money
2) they're banning dogs because they might be tempted to serve the dog, not as a customer but as part of their menu
3) it takes real unadulterated kindness to convince one's self that food handling in the kitchen of chinese restaurants is sanitary
4) they depend too much on monosodium glutamate (vitsin to us mere customers)

years ago in northern germany, in that country where rules are strict and implementation stricter, a chinese restaurant was closed because it was discovered that its heaps of dressed chicken are placed on the floor!

China, as anyone who has lived there knows, has virtually no safety controls on food and drugs. At the same time, it is in the midst of a no-holds-barred drive to increase its exports, and is heavily subsidizing its manufacturers to ship container loads of cheap goods of all kinds to the U.S. and other overseas markets. As a result, over the past few years, China has stealthily become the second-largest supplier of foreign toothpaste — and many other questionable food and drug products — to the U.S. market.

UPDATE--

28 February 2013

China restaurant takes down maritime dispute sign

A Beijing restaurant has removed a sign banning customers from three Asian neighbours currently involved in simmering maritime disputes with China.

The sign at the Beijing Snacks restaurant had said Japanese, Filipino and Vietnamese patrons were not welcome - and neither were dogs.

The move provoked an angry reaction, with online comments accusing the restaurant of "extremism" and "racism".

The owner did not comment further on the row when contacted by the BBC.

The restaurant owner, named only as Wang, said he had not been forced to take the sign down but had done so of his own volition because it had generated "too much bother" and too many calls from the media.

the AFP agency reports that he had "no regrets" and refused to apologise for any offence caused.
