Anti-Chinese sentiment

Anti-Chinese sentiment refers to negative attitudes, beliefs, and actions directed against Chinese individuals or people perceived to be Chinese. This sentiment can stem from historical tensions, political conflicts, economic competition, or cultural misunderstandings. It may manifest as discrimination, xenophobia, or violence, particularly during times of crisis, such as pandemics or geopolitical tensions. Factors like media portrayal and political rhetoric can exacerbate these feelings. Understanding this sentiment is crucial for promoting dialogue and addressing biases, ensuring that the broader complexities of international relations and social dynamics are recognized rather than oversimplified.
