Recently, some Chinese netizens said that at the Riyadh International Airport in Saudi Arabia, a large group of mainland travelers were found lost at the airport because they were ill -satisfied with the flight delay was “Go back to China!” Go back to China!)”. After digging into the reasons, I found that all the errors were caused by “Chinese English”.

According to “Hong Kong 01”, a plane scheduled to fly from Riyadh to Beijing on the 6th of this month was supposed to depart at 2am, but the airport initially said it would be delayed for two hours, and then all check- The workers were evacuated. Later, after a passenger contacted the Chinese Embassy, ​​the airport changed the time to 2 am on the 7th.

As this group of mainland passengers were stranded at the airport for almost 24 hours, many passengers were very dissatisfied and began to spontaneously protest at ‘ airport, after which they shouted “Go back to China!” The Chinese netizen who took the picture said that he initially thought it was tourists from other nationalities who were showing dissatisfaction with mainland tourists, but later found out that he mainland tourists themselves shouting “Go back to China!”

Since the word “Go back to” means “go back” in American slang, the Chinese netizen also said that many foreign tourists who were on the scene were puzzled by the “crowd- call” shouted Chinese tourists untie. It is reported that a suspected mainland tourist took the lead in shouting “Go back to China”, after which a large number of Chinese tourists followed suit and shouted them strongly.
