Aljazeera is US propaganda machine as well.

Any source which doesn't suit your narrative is propaganda for you guys

they had to get rid of him quickly.

Depend on how both convince us

Actually we are in the propaganda war now; and al jazeera is one of US machines, of course China has their own propaganda machines

China is totally different from the West, there are no racism or political correctness, at first you may find the whites are more welcome, but in the long term people don't judge by skin. If someone is misbehaving and not welcome, crying out racism will not work, Chinese will laugh out.

I live there kid...stop it

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

I live there kid...stop it

You should hear my wife and her Chinese friends...definitely not politically correct...and if you are Asian and live to the West of China and to the East of Europe you are on their list.

In China looking down is not racism.

To Chinese if you are more ugly than others you have to work more hard.

I've some first hand information about foreign students in China, most black students are not studying hard, some even can't copy the answer correctly. Most foreign students studying hard from two countries, one is North Korea another you maybe surprised, it's India, the Indian students even don't have scholarship because they are not from the BRI countries.

The reason why there are 100,000 Africans in Guangzhou is because China started reaching out to Africa in the early 2000s. And why is that? I know that the ignorant Chinese members here probably do not understand why Africa holds such an important part of Chinese foreign policy but it is exactly because the Chinese leaders then had the foresight to understand that there will be a day that comes when the White Western world, threatened by China's rise, will spurn China and seek to isolate and crush it. When that day comes, China could not be dependent on Western markets nor could they be dependent on its ties to the West solely. Therefore, Africa was seen as a tremendous opportunity because it was largely written off by the West. Africa's lower level of development provided ample ground for young and inexperienced Chinese companies to start venturing abroad, gaining experience operating in foreign soil and taking market share from more advanced counterparts from the West and Japan. Africa's development is an important part of Chinese foreign policy because China needs a market to replace Western markets and that is why China has sunk billions into building infrastructure in Africa. Out of all the corners of the world, China is deeply hated by the White Western world and its East Asian neighbors. Look at favorability polls, China is DEEPLY HATED. Where China does best is in Africa and the Middle East. People there tended to have more favorable views of China. That is why the Western media is focused on making China appear anti-Muslim and anti-Black.

However, look at the responses of the ignorant Chinese members on this forum and they are working hard to reinforce the view pushed by the Western media that China is a racist, hateful country. And the reality is, China IS an extremely insular nation with little understanding for other cultures or races. Don't get me wrong, Chinese people by and large are friendly to foreigners and violence against foreigners is very rare. However, as we can see here, when there is a lack of institutional protections and cultural awareness for the rights of individuals and universal values, fear can quickly transform into xenophobia and racism and cruelty.

This is in part a product of China's history, size, environment and also a lack of education. There will be Chinese members who justify their racism by saying, "Well, all East Asian countries are racist, look at Japan, S. Korea, etc". Well, Japan and S. Korea are satisfied being appendages of the Western world. They are vassal states. Are any of them competing with the United States to ascend the throne of global power?

China is NOT READY to be a superpower if its people remain this insular and dense. The members here only reinforce this fact. They are EXTREMELY DENSE and do not understand that they are in fact helping their enemies ruin their own image and harm their own interests. When it comes to soft power, the United States is a quick witted star attorney while China is afflicted with down syndrome.

If the Chinese government wants a leading role in the world, then it will have to build an awareness of universal values and a culture that can appeal universally. It has to make sure its system and its society are tolerant of all cultures and can deal with all races and cultures in a fair and just manner.

You're assuming China is depending on Africa and Chinese should give privilege to blacks, that's ridiculous.

China should not give privilege to Blacks, it should treat them as individuals fairly under the law.

The fact that you constantly justify racism against Black individuals with complaints about Blacks as a race already demonstrates that you do not even understand this concept. You believe that an entire group of people should be punished due to the actions of INDIVIDUALS associated with that race.

Individuals and group are not separated. You don't understand statistics.

You don't understand justice.

Do you think the tens of millions of Chinese nationals who go overseas as tourists, immigrants, business people or students act perfectly? You don't think many of them have conducted themselves in shameful ways that have harmed the societies they have gone to?

Do you think you should be punished as an INDIVIDUAL for the actions of these Chinese people?

Justice is to pick out the bad eggs, don't let the bad eggs kidnap the whole group.

But the Africa countries are stopping China to do it, so whole group are blamed by Chinese people.

The situation with the Africans in Guangzhou was so poorly handled regardless of the situation. I understand that you probably cannot comprehend how this looks for China's image but trust me, it was very poorly handled.

Situation in China is more important than image to outside. Even isolated is better than destroyed.
