[quote=OLIVERD ,3716]I'd recommend not tipping because (i) it's not customary, and no one is providing you good service because of an expected tip; conversely, in China you cannot express your displeasure with poor service by not tipping or leaving a small tip. (ii) in the past year or so, I've been suprised and irritated by the proportion of taxi drivers (esp. in Beijing) expecting me to round the fair up, one even getting nasy and calling me "cheap" when I said "please just go by the metered fair." I think this happens to me occasionally because those cabbies had the idea that foreigners round up based on experience. This reinforces double-standard treatment in China, which is the single most difficult hurdle for long-term foreign residents in China. [/quote]
