Makes sense.

Still, wondering why the Chinese is purposefully so narrow and doesn't read '谢绝外国人‘ (no foreigners) instead of '谢绝中国人' (no Chinese people).

Leaves no room for misinterpretation, like we're already seeing in this thread.

A Chinese tourist, seeing a sign with unintelligible English plus "No foreigners" written in Hanzi/Kanji, could assume they're not foreign, since they're not Anglophone...
