The Chinese travel and tourism economy grew 9.9% last year, more than twice the global rate and much faster than the 0.9% pace registered by the US, according to new data by the World Travel & Tourism Council, a trade group, and lead research partner Chase Travel.
Of course white dudes wanna enjoy their white privilage that even Local Chinese Citizens don’t have
Exhibit A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_monkey (this is not exactly “tourist” but the point remains)

I fail to see what this has to do with visiting a couple of cities for a week or two as a tourist. If your argument is that a person cannot come from a country that has more rights or better wealth than another country, the dynamics to visiting anywhere get really weird.
I live near China but don’t go there because I don’t like the government. However, I’d love to see many archeological sites like Xi An and other places.
Xi’an is cool. Really good food, especially if you get tired of pork.
Wait, so tourism counts as white privilege to you?
Wow, I’ll make sure I remind the 40 million annual Chinese people leaving the country on vacation that they are enjoying white privilege.
