The "Guiyang Line" Indonesian airport receives tips or tourists are repeatedly robbed of tips when they enter the little black room.

Recently, some netizens broke the news that Indonesian airport customs officers forced China people to accept a tip of 100 to 300 yuan (RMB, the same below) when crossing the border. Passport holders from all countries can pass the customs smoothly. People from China will be stuck and questioned until they receive a tip. If they don't give it, they will enter a dark room and threaten to refuse to sign it. In front of me, my eldest brother China was taken 500 yuan when he went through the customs.

Because of my video, I was not only repeatedly questioned, but also pushed me into a dark room and threatened to refuse the visa. During this period, the Commissioner of Customs often used Fxxking cina (damned believers) to insult our group.

After the video of China tourists being forced to ask for tips when entering Indonesia was exposed on the Internet, it aroused widespread public concern. After receiving the complaint, the Embassy of China in Indonesia immediately lodged representations with Indonesia, demanding that Indonesia take immediate measures to prevent this kind of phenomenon from happening again.

On March 1 1, the Embassy of China in Indonesia issued a notice reminding China citizens not to tip Indonesian immigration officials when entering or leaving the country. In case of tipping, please contact the embassy or consulate in time. Indonesia also said that tipping is a violation of individual immigration officials, and Indonesia will severely punish those involved.

On March 14, the China Embassy in Indonesia issued an ingenious plan to prevent similar incidents, reminding China citizens to refuse connivance and rationally defend their rights.

Ask for hints and dare to say no!

Indonesian customs and immigration officials have been collecting tips for years.

In recent years, with the sound development of China-Indonesia relations, the number of China citizens traveling and doing business in Indonesia has increased year by year. According to the data of China National Tourism Administration, in just 20 16 years, the number of China tourists to Indonesia exceeded10.4 million, and China became the country with the largest number of tourists to Indonesia.

Although a large number of tourists from China praised the beauty of the Thousand Islands in Indonesia on social networks, many tourists reported that they had been asked for tips by airport immigrants, customs and border inspectors when entering and leaving Indonesia. Some netizens said that asking for tips was only for China passport holders, and they refused to sign the visa without paying money.

According to the relevant personnel of travel agencies, immigration officials generally choose to conduct key inspections after 10 in the afternoon when the number of tourists is relatively small. If there are loopholes in tourists' travel documents, immigration officials will point out the problems and the consequences of these problems, and then advise tourists to pay.

After this unfair treatment, netizens expressed their support for the negotiation of the China Embassy in Indonesia and praised China's diplomacy.

Southeast Asian countries have repeatedly tipped China tourists.

In fact, the phenomenon of asking for tips from China tourists is not unique to Indonesia, but occurs from time to time in many countries in Southeast Asia. Some netizens said that many domestic tourists have become accustomed to this, and even some domestic tour groups will ask tourists to tip.

June 5438+February last year, China citizens were forced to pay tips by Cambodian staff at the entry and exit ports in Cambodia. The Cambodian Embassy in China issued a notice after receiving the response, reiterating that Cambodian citizens do not need to pay tips when entering the country. If there are illegal people asking for tips, they should argue with reason and refuse them sternly, safeguard their legitimate rights and interests and avoid encouraging bad habits.

In February this year, a China tourist refused to tip when he left Vietnam, and was beaten by Vietnamese border inspectors, resulting in a fracture. Subsequently, the Embassy of China in Vietnam made solemn representations to the Vietnamese side, condemning the Vietnamese violence, demanding that the perpetrators be severely punished, apologizing to the injured and compensating all losses. Vietnam subsequently responded that it would deal with it according to the nature of the incident.

Since 65438+February last year, the collective voice of China's embassies in three Southeast Asian countries has been well received by public opinion. Some analysts also said that in order to solve the tipping problem completely, besides the conscious resistance of China tourists and the help of embassies, the countries concerned need to make up their minds.
