Topic: Why do Chinese shout?
I'm really getting tired of this and am wondering if anybody knows why Chinese (almost) always shout when they speak?

They are not really shouting, they simply talk loud. Not all Chinese in mainland China talk loud. People in Beijing, in North Eastern China and hainan people tend to talk louder.

I find Aussies in Western Australia talk loud too, especially in the pubs, night clubs and bars.

They have nothing to hide, so they talk loud - May be

Nothing to hide-interesting explanation:D

I never go to pubs and night clubs, but assume those kind of places are noisy all over the world. However, when it's the norm for bus drivers and passengers to shout at each other (or talking loudly, as you like to put it) it's unacceptable.

Chinese don't shout, they talk loud esp in the villages.

If they try that in a civilised country, they'd face criminal charges. In Germany they may go to jail for up to 10 years for shouting (or talking loud, as you prefer to put it) in public, if they're public figures.
