On September 9, a blogger posted a video that his companion was stopped when he entered the banquet hall of a luxury hotel wearing slippers, but there were foreigners in it eating in slippers, which caused controversy.
The video posted by blogger "Li Siwan" shows that there are signs placed at the entrance of the hotel banquet hall, which are suspected to be informing you that you cannot enter and eat in the slippers and bathrobes. The blogger pointed to the boy next to him and said to the banquet hall manager: "This is one of my children. He doesn't understand (the rules). You didn't let him in. This also clearly states that you are not allowed to enter with slippers, so he went back to change."

In addition, the blogger asked the manager: "Does foreigners have any priority?" The manager replied, "Treat equally." The blogger pointed to several foreigners who were suspected of eating in slippers in the banquet hall and asked, "What's the situation?" The manager replied, "I didn't notice it just now." The blogger asked again, "Foreigners are humans, aren't Chinese? I am also a user of your gold and diamond cards. Do you look down on people? Can foreigners wear slippers to enter with famous brands?" The manager repeatedly denied: "No."
This video has caused a huge response online. On the morning of September 10, a reporter from Jimu News sent a private message to the blogger "Li Siwan", but no response was received yet. "Li Siwan" revealed during the live broadcast that the incident occurred in a hotel in Xiamen, Fujian.

The Jimu News reporter contacted the hotel, and the staff said that there are indeed relevant regulations: "It is not recommended for guests wearing disposable slippers in the hotel to enter the banquet hall for dining, because disposable slippers are very thin and easy to slip, which is also for the safety of the guests." He also said, "If the guests wear their own slippers and are not provided by the hotel, then there is no problem entering the banquet hall."
Have the hotel paid attention to the question of blogger "Li Siwan"? Are the foreign guests who dine in the video posted by the blogger wearing their own slippers? In response to this, the above-mentioned staff said that the relevant hotel departments will investigate and deal with the matter.
