ALTHOUGH China is one of the great nations in terms of economical strength, her people are not getting much love from the international community.
Rude mainland China tourists with deviant behaviour are sowing all sorts of bad ideas or stereotypes regarding the country. But how do the Malaysian Chinese stand up against their mainland counterpart?
Recently a local Malay netizen decided to make a comparison between the two sides and the topic has since garnered quite a lot of attention, with over 2,100 shares and 78 comments.
beza chinese malaysia vs chinese mainland
Chinese malaysia
– friendly boleh buat kawan ye kalau jumpa
– muka pun senyum jachinese mainland
– muka acah diva, dia rasa dia main character dengan eyeliner macam mata batman
– tak dengar cakap suka tolak tolak orang. Pergi la…— Fatin ♡ (@fatinruto) June 2, 2025
The netizen by the name of @fatinruto claimed among many other things that Malaysian Chinese were friendlier.
“I work in a hotel. If the mainlanders come asking for a room, I automatically said we are full. That and also I had to use google translate to make them understand,” said @topmesungchan.
Echoing his thoughts were @EJattIsHere, pointing out that the mainlanders felt that the entire world knew Mandarin.
Another netizen who said he was an e-hailing driver stated that the majority of mainland girls have a bad smell. “Our Chinese girls smell nicer,” he said.
Now with the increasing number of comments about stink and body odour, we can only wonder what defines smelly and nice smelling nowadays.
Also, @Cthulu_awaken pointed out that the eyes of a Malaysian Chinese were less narrow compared to the mainland Chinese, and also, their skin was darker too.
“Even the Malaysian Chinese are disgusted by the mainland Chinese,” said @REALfatinzz.
However, @anissyx_ disagreed. According to her, she had a Chinese Malaysian general manager who was quite a looker. Sadly, she did not wash up after peeing.
“After she comes out of the toilet, she will smell like piss. And she is not friendly too,” said @anissyx_.
Towards her comment, @pr_valentines replied that she was likely a DAP supporter.
“The anti DAP are all okay,” said @pr_valentines although there was no further elaboration on why support for DAP has a negative effect on one’s hygiene. We are certain MCA do not go out handing perfumes to their supporters either.
But the mainlanders have their supporters too. Netizen @Irfanae1988 pointed out that the Malaysian Chinese looked foolish, wearing short pants and singlet.
On the other hand, the mainlanders preferred long pants and even the shirt of their choice had long sleeves.
Meanwhile, @FarisAzman96 claimed that the Indonesian Chinese were better since they could speak Malay.
The lack of language barrier will of course foster a sense of camaraderie among the races so this comes as no surprise.
Perhaps @popinlinux had the spark for a new hot topic with his comment, “Are we not going to make a comparison between the Malaysian Indians and the mainland Indians?” —June 3, 2025
