Turning tourist horror stories into public service announcements: Czech Republic's brutal PR strategy for keeping travelers in line!
Ploty
We need them in every capital

China had to tell their traveling citizens to “Don’t spit phlegm or gum, throw litter, urinate or defecate wherever you feel like it."
Chowyunfatkungfu
Hahaha awesome I love the Czechs

OP, is a troll..https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Posobiec

If that’s true, why did they write the descriptions in Czech and not Mandarin?
imminentloudness
For the Chinese tourists that can read Czech?
JustAnotherSnakeCult
Power move.
TIREDGANG
I hate to say it because I think this is a good idea, but I think this is shopped
wadatahmydamie
China’s government sucks. Posobiec sucks too. They’re both authoritarian trash that would make the world a better place by burning.

In my city in Czech we put almost real life big pictures of how it looked like when russians were here and other kind of stuff,

We have a tank track that has written names on it who died that day..
KapThat
We need these at most universities in the states.

I find it difficult to understand that a lot of Chinese people don't know wabout this. I mean, I get the
jatene
censorship, but is it not passed to the kids/grandkids/etc of those that were there? Word of mouth, although
jatene
won't be heard by the same amount of people of it were covered by the media.
phillysokayest
Jack proboseic is...in a word or two.. a douchebag
phillysokayest
And so is jack posobiec - both douchebags

Is that just Jack Posobiec, but with a bigger nose?

Surely
JamJarre
No they fucking didn't stop reposting this made up nonsense!
questionableanswers
If you're claiming they didn't put them up, image search: Google "Výstava Masakr na náměstí Nebeského klidu 1989"
JamJarre
I'm obviously not because look at the fucking picture. It 100% was not for Chinese tourists

TIREDGANG
I was skeptical too, but another commenter showed me a video and I found this article in the description. Seems legit. It is in Czech fyi
JamJarre
It's not legit. The exhibition existed but wasn't at all for Chinese tourists
canadaMonster
It’s amazing how every time I find somebody defending China it’s some massive dem partisan
JamJarre
Mate I'm not even American. I couldn't give two shits about the Democrats
NothingButTheWorst
OliverClothesoff70
Wrong. It’s defense of the truth, not China. If these signs had been FOR Chinese people they would have been printed IN Chinese.
JamJarre
Fucking thank you
alex5775
Sounds to me like you mix up Chinese people and "China" dems hate China, but Chinese people are oppressed and can't do anything about it.
rhinokick
I believe he's saying that they didnt put up the signs. Not that it didn't happen
adohira
It makes FP every other day
alsoAzrael
Is.... is that meant to be a counterargument?
questionableanswers
But they did. Claiming otherwise is pro-chinese propaganda. Google "Výstava Masakr na náměstí Nebeského klidu 1989"
JamJarre
They literally aren't for Chinese tourists. So, OP's post is nonsense
sozensloth
I tried to look for any information, the only websites talking about this are meme sites... and Infowars. So I'm gona go ahead and dismiss
TIREDGANG

TIREDGANG
I replied to the parent comment too, but this source seems fairly legitimate, and somebody posted a firsthand video as well
TIREDGANG
I dabble in some editing/vfx stuff a bit, and while the photos could be fake, that video would've been compositted so well if it were a fake
strangerthingies
If i went to another country and saw signs explaining horrors id never heard of about my home id think they were lying
DVSBSTrD
Then you've never been to a history class in your life.
Domivla
So if your history class would say that hiroshima and nagasaki never happened and after believing that your whole life you go to japan
DVSBSTrD
Yes, because I'm not retarded. Nor am I pretending to be just so I can get away with being a piece of shit.
JamJarre
I mean unless they speak Czech I dont think they'll be thinking anything about it
Alistairetheblu
Right, because things put there specifically for Chinese tourists would definitely have been written in Czech.
JamJarre
Yes that's my point
JamJarre
I mean you can literally see they're written in Czech
alex5775
I'm American and I'd probably believe it. We're not "no talking about it" like China, but there's some shit we try to brush under the rug
CSlice06
Well that’s cuz your country probably has freedom of information

Rach272727
In 1998 I had a flatmate from China on an exchange prog (NZ scientists). He was shocked to hear about the massacre but couldn't believe it.
Rach272727
I ended up thinking he was better off not knowing details. He had to go back there afterall. Scary stuff.

They are Chinese so I suspect they know they have been lied to

Its amazing what people can filter out when they have been brainwashed Exhibit A : trump supporters
LAMovieDesign
And that’s the saddest thing about this. There are tons of Americans believing their president is telling the truth right now.
FullBrindleJacket
And that the Holocaust didn’t happen.
samesamebutnotthesame
It happened. Just not how Hollywood portrays it.

He has alternative facts, so he's telling alternative truth. /s

Yeah but that's just sheer stupidity.

I don't agree. The problem in the US is much more complicated than smart people vs stupid people. I don't think people are being 'stupid'...

Its the product of a progressive sinking of the educational system, moreso in rural areas, where religion and fear reign.
LAMovieDesign
Thank you. I completely agree.

We need these in the Canadian rockies and Niagara falls
TheRealJoeHasenguy
I just need one in front of me where ever I go...cause apparently thats where they always are.

And every Best Buy in America

Historic truth about Canada would also be nice. So many tourists and even residents don't know the real history of the country

Shh you can't talk about the US funding dictatorships in SA for their own gain, it "ruins" the picture that the US is a beacon of freedom /s
SgtPotshot
Wait, the US basically fucking around with right wing dictatorships to counter Communist movements during the Cold War isn't well known?
doglickingbuttholes
Nah it is

Greater Vancouver would make sense as well.
theusernameformerlyknownastildo
Considering that Vancouver's explosive growth from HK/China started after Tiananmen, I think they're familiar with it happening.
PriestofThor
Honolulu too
circlejerkofhate
You really think the rich chinese people that have places in van dont know about Tiananmen? Gotta hit them tourists
qolume
Well, just put it on Grouse Mountain and Capilano Bridge...
Thresholdpush
Thousands of Chinese tourists come through here on bus tours every year from Vancouver through Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Harrison...

You’re just going to leave Surrey out of this list?!

I ran out of characters. I grew up in White Rock. Just off of Marine drive actually.
