Possibly an interesting side debate to have. Senkaku/Diaoyutai dispute prompted “over-reacting protesters” to smash Japanese cars and restaurants, followed by another round of protest marches setting fire to Japanese cars and businesses, along with looting. Interestingly my brief browse to refresh my memory didn’t see these described as rioting.this is now the way of the world and that ethic/corporate culture did not originate from the mainland
Now I don’t know if that counts as cancel culture, but that was in 2012, while references to cancel culture really seem to take off in the late 2010s.

The CX Swine scum management and bean counters should be asking WHY the pilots are taxiing so slow, instead of reprimanding them. Actually, they do know, but they don't care. They have their old salaries back while everyone else had to take huge permanent pay cuts.
Also, maybe if you don't pay something as ridiculous as 9k basic salary then you won't end up with morons who don't have the common sense of knowing it's a dumb idea to talk smack about passengers within earshot of them. You pay peanuts you get monkeys.
I'm sure this is partly driven by an institutional edict - remember the 5th wave and how it started in a hotel cross-infection when a women in her 3rd week of quarantine caught it from a new arrival across the hall, and yet the narrative has long since been changed in Govt and media to blame the cathay pilots who decided to go out partying when they should've been isolating.

When I saw the subject title, I thought it was going to be about the North of England/ UK (so either about Mancs/Scousers/Geordies or Scots respectively).
I think they usually speak Mandarin - wonder why the exchange was in English. Also the chatter amongst themselves.
