My Chinese wife nearly always gets pissed off with me when I give to beggars. She nearly always tells me that Chinese mafia employ beggars who after their stint on the streets go away to live a life in luxury or similar. I did however take note of 2 instances when she tried to give our "doggy bag" which we planned to eat later, to beggars only to be refused and asked for money. Could have been a 2 off which only cemented my wifes and many other middle class Chinese to beggars.
