        背景介绍：
        德国《明镜》周刊9日刊登该报旅游编辑斯戴凡·奥尔特的亲历文章，题目为“旅馆的中国人警告”。
        中国游客让国外酒店嫌弃了？这样的事情在德国发生了。德国《明镜》周刊9日刊登该报旅游编辑斯戴凡·奥尔特的亲历文章，题目为“旅馆的中国人警告”，文章称，当地一家酒店在办理入住手续时，顺手还发一张写有“中国人警告”的纸条，提醒其他游客“请不要受到中国人吧嗒吧嗒的吃饭声和打嗝声影响”，并称如果想安静地吃早餐，请避开中国旅游团，8点以后来。
        该文在《明镜》周刊一发表，便在网络上引起极大争议，甚至被批评有“种族主义”倾向。

        话题：
        For today's topic, please select one listed below to share your thoughts^^:
        1. What is your attitude towards "Chinese-alarm" in foreign countries? What hidden meanings that you could think under the warnings?
        2. Do you think it is necessary to give those warnings toward special group of people, and why or why not?
        3. Open question: is it too sensitive to define this kind of behavior as racial discrimination.
        范例1：
        Currently, "Chinese-alarm"news has arisen in our domestic media, which is causing great concern on Chinese table manners and special treatment in foreign countries. From my perspective, I think in the light of this behavior it lacks basic respect to customers and the restaurant did put on its colored glass to Chinese people, on the other side, which irritates foreign visitors and impacts its own reputation. It is the fact that sometimes Chinese customers make loud noise but it is not always the case. Different people have their various cultures, especially Chinese wine culture. Mutual understanding should be approaching; what is more, it is not smart to apply the written warnings aiming at Chinese people and triggers potential guessing on racial discrimination.
        范例2：
        The first thing came in my mind when I got the topic was that Chinese are still considered as aliens with prejudice after years though the government welcome Chinese tourists in order to boost their economy. As it is what it is, why not we generously take it just as politely reminder rather than offensive warning, though the reminder is obviously exaggerated? However, the underlying reason is the discrimination or the consequence of some particular former Chinese costumers’ reckless behavior? As an outsider we represent more like a group than ourselves. In my opinion, we do not have to change to cater for anyone. But we could restrain a little for others’ convenience.
