A “shameful” fight between two Chinese tourists at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport was featured on television news in Japan recently, a Chinese aviation news website reported on Monday.
The two women started brawling while queueing to board their plane at the airport on February 12, Carnoc.com reported on a story that ran on TV Asahi's news network, All-Nippon News, on February 15.
They started arguing when the trolley of one of the women, Peng Jing, 42, a director of a Chinese construction company, bumped the trolley of the woman, aged 46.
During the argument, Peng slapped the other woman, cutting her lip.
Peng fled after the assault, but police called to the scene arrested her at the boarding gate.
Peng admitted she hit the woman out of “a short moment of impulsiveness”.
The name of the other woman was not given.

“There have been many reports recently about the poor quality of Chinese tourists overseas,” Carnoc.com said, describing the incident as “shameful”.
“Although these could be isolated incidents, spoiling a whole bowl of soup because of one piece of rotten meat and [causing others to think that] Chinese people are of low quality is no small issue.
“When travelling abroad, remember you are not only a tourist, but a Chinese.”
Japanese audiences, on the other hand, were not that forgiving.
“Such incidents can go on the news? There are so many cases of Chinese tourists behaving in an uncivilised manner in Osaka,” said an online comment written in Japanese.
“Do we really need to welcome such people to Japan?” another asked.
