If it is their own money does it really matters ?
What about the locals who do the same and nothing happens to them.

Unlike the western tourist the Chinese are very stingy and will always look for a way to make money rather than spend it. Nothing comes free.They will plunder the country as much as possible before they leave. By then it will be too late.

After all China launched our satellite too, didnt they? So, they should have a right to engage in any unlawful activities in Sri Lanka, which is soon going to be a satellite nation of Great China.

Tourist board boasts about high visitor arrivals, and these are the sorts, eat "Kottu' and drink "kurumba for three meals, travel by ctb, sleep in lodges at Rs200 a night.
The damage is much more they do, it is funny the government is conniving this type of visitors while their own governments is disturbed and giving information to SL police.
