Who hates China’s rise the most: from the “yellow peril” to the “biggest challenger”, Why the Anglo-Saxon despise the Chinese so much?

Well apparently it is far easier for 40,000 Chinese to renounce their citizenships and join the EU than it is for 10,000 US citizens to renounce their citizenships and join the EU.

The numbers of China and US to EU are about the same, but China has a way bigger population base.

What does this have to do with renouncing citizenships? All it is a visa residence extension list.

You think all those Ukrainians were suddenly given citizenships in other EU countries???

Why do you keep BS and talking nonsense?

2020

2021

In 2021, similar to 2020, Moroccans were the largest group among new EU citizens (86 200 people, of whom 71% acquired citizenship of Spain or France), ahead of Syrians (83 500, 70% acquired citizenship of Sweden or Netherlands), and Albanians (32 300, 70% acquired citizenship of Italy). Romanians (28 600, 33% acquired citizenship of Italy) were also part of this top 10 list of recipients of EU citizenship, followed by Turks (25 700, 48% acquired German citizenship), Brazilians (20 400, 65% acquired citizenship of Portugal or Italy), Algerians (19 300, 80% acquired citizenship of France), Ukrainians (18 200, 37% acquired citizenship of Poland and Italy) Russians (17 300, 45% acquired citizenship of Germany and France) and Pakistanis (16 600, 62% acquired citizenship of Spain and Italy).

Romanians (28 600 persons), Poles (12 500) and Italians (10 100) remained the three largest groups of EU citizens acquiring citizenship of another EU Member State, unchanged from previous years.

The majority of new citizenships were granted by Spain (144 000; 17% of EU total), France (130 400; 16%), Germany (130 000; 16%), Italy (121 500; 15%) and Sweden (89 400 or 11%) accounting for 75% of new citizenships granted in the EU in 2021.

Who hates China’s rise the most: from the “yellow peril” to the “biggest challenger”, Why the Anglo-Saxon despise the Chinese so much?​

May 9, 2023

From Deng Xiaoping’s economic policy that lifted more than 800 million people out of poverty to China’s current domination in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its establishment of the Belt and Road initiative, the progress that China has made is impressive in terms of the economic balance sheet.

The vast majority of western audience has felt highly uncomfortable about China’s unfamiliar cultural and political landscape. Notably, the hostile awe has been received mainly from the AUKUS countries.

The passionate rhetorical protests against China are commonplace among the Anglo leaders.

The racial underpinnings of China’s rise centre around the Anglo-Saxon’s despise on China. Kiron Skinner, a former Director of Policy Planning at the United States Department of State stated in 2019 that China’s rise consisted of a narrative that it was “the first time that we will have a great power competitor that is not Caucasian.” In 2022, the British Member of Parliament (MP) Mark Spencer also referred to Chinese spies as “some little China men” in a televised interview when defending Liz Truss’ China policy.

One of the first official Sino-British encounters suggests that the long legacy of the Anglo hostilities towards China can be traced back to the late 18th century. The infamous Macartney’s British Embassy to China failed his initial mission to open trade with China due to the refusal to perform the Chinese Imperial protocol. Macartney’s comptroller, John Barrow, later described China as weak, the state as despotic and corruptible, and the people as hypocritical and dirty. He noted that nothing in China would ever change without European colonisation.

In contrast, prior to his description, Europeans had more often admired the Chinese culture and fantasized orientalism. French and other continental artisans and aristocrats had been more appreciative of the Chinoiserie and the profoundness of Chinese philosophy.

In the early 20th century, Sinophobia became a fashion in the Anglo-Saxon world. In support of the idea of “Yellow Peril”, the English novelist Sax Rohmer crafted a Chinese character, Fu Manzhou, as a caricature of a ruthless Chinaman with cruelty, extreme intelligence and a hunger for power. Roughly around the same time, on the other side of the Atlantic, the Chinese Exclusion Act was placed to limit and constrain the Chinese immigrants and their rights within the American society.

The anti-miscegenation legislature also enforced restrictions on the interpersonal relationships between different races. Particularly, white women who were married to Chinese men had to leave the country. In Australia, another Anglo country, the draft of Chinese Immigration Act 1855 also placed in Victoria to limit the Chinese immigrants by imposing poll tax, and the term “Coolie” became the racial slur for Asian men throughout that period in the Anglo-Saxon world.

The question to be asked is why did the Anglo-Saxon despise the Chinese so much? There are mainly two reasons behind the sentiment. First of all, even though the Anglo-Saxon perceived themselves as carrying on the “manifested destiny” and the “Whiteman’s burden”, they in fact still viewed themselves as the racial subordinate of the “Nordic race”.

Fuelled by earlier biological theories of Madison Grant on race, the Anglo-Americans subjugated themselves as an off-shoot branch, second class of the pure Nordic blood. In Australia, even in later 20th century, an official publication of the Australian Good Neighbour Council described Scandinavians as superior compared to many British migrants. In social psychology, it is proposed that inferior complexity could lead to abusive behaviour, often towards others that are perceived by the perpetrators as worse off.

On the cultural level, the British Isles always belonged to the periphery of Europe, where the continental civilization could hardly be shone upon. The roots of the Anglo-Saxon culture were thus built upon the imagery of continental Europe, even as it never truly seemed to be a part of that. When coming in contact with other civilizations, such as China, its own cultural identity became even more hollow in comparison with the 5000 years of history and the richness of artefacts that China had.

The destruction of the Chinese imperial winter palace, Yuanmingyuan, by the British was in essence a proof of such cultural identity reflexes.

Anglo-Saxon’s complicated sentiment towards China is thus motivated by a non-material aspect. Unlike the mainstream argument on political systems and values, the ultimate resentment in fact came from the cultural and racial self-reflection. The Anglo-Saxons might have invented the modern capitalism, democracy and technology, but China’s cultural legacy, history and distinctive ethnic identity are the unattainable notions that Anglo-Saxons are envious of.

Personally the OIC sees China's view favourably. Even Saudi Arabia sided with Russia in cutting oil production to raise the prices.

When I met Chinese people in Saudi Arabia, they said "shut-up, at-least we are Anti-Crusade."

That the Americans are not honest when dealing with other peoples or countries.

Saudi Arabia wants to see USA punished for hubris and imperials wars against others.

No wonder why Saudi Arabia and Pakistan sees China so favourably. Perhaps the Malaysians, Indonesians, and people of Brunei think the same as well.

China's rise as a Superpower is indeed welcomed.

US is an immigration country, China as the largest nation in most part of history always had a tradition to move oversea to expand business and opportunities, there are way more ethnic Chinese in South east Asia than those in America, so you know why over 70% of Singaporeans are of Chinese origin? US is an immigration country, it has way more Europeans immigrated there so now it's European dominated, but it's changing, 50 years from now that country will look very different when whites become a minority.

Let us give credit where it is due. Even if the US is a country of immigrants, we can not deny the fact that it is white Europeans who has developed it to one of the modern and wealthiest nations in the world. That does not mean, I am advocating white supremacy here. But it would be unfair if we do not recognize the contributions associated with the European/White/Western people to our modern world.

Maybe Pakistan, but I'm not sure about India.

However, I know that you take umbrage at people using the term 'Anglo,' but I maintain it is valid. It refers to the English speaking countries, the 'five eyes'--USA, UK, Canada, Australia & New Zealand.

It is a valid term because these countries have a common language, culture, religion etc. and they work together as one on most matters.

'Han' cannot be used in the same way because all Han dominated countries don't act in unison. E.g. China and Taiwan. For example, the Chinese may like Pakistan, but Taiwan may prefer India.

China and its people would love to like all the ASEAN countries who have more similarity with their way of living than any Pakistani or any other races. I understand it is quite difficult for Pakistan to understand at this juncture. But it is a fact that will slowly unravel in due course of time.

All peoples have their time in the history, whites are now in panic mode.
