Emster23 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 He could have used a wider lens and said more safety for all tourists, which would include Chinese. Maybe get together with Brit, Aussie, US etc embassies to present a united front.... they'd be ignored, but what the hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
