Ep. 08: Chinese Tourists and Empathy

Published: Nov. 28, 2019, 12:30 a.m.

How many times have you encountered large groups of Chinese tourists, who literally take over a place and kill it for others?
We all feel annoyed with them, and Utsav was no different till he ended up living in Shanghai, China for 6 months.

This week, he talks about the slow realisation of why the Chinese ended up like this, and what it means for us as travellers. Aided by a crash course in contemporary Chinese history, he discovers the value of empathy - the emotion in short supply.
