Anti-Chinese sentiment is a consistent hostility toward the government, culture, history, or people of China, particularly People's Republic of China. The term describes the actions and attitudes of individuals as well as the policies and pronouncements of governments and other organizations. Anti-Chinese sentiment may be either by non-Chinese, or more rarely, by Chinese themselves, especially those from Taiwan.
In Asia
Significant Chinese minorities exist in a number of South-East Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Generally urban and often wealthy businesses owners, these transplanted Chinese have traditionally controlled much capital and general economic activity in these countries despite their minority status. Resentment amongst the poorer majority has often led to Anti-Chinese violence, in 1969 in Malaysia and as recently as 1998 in Indonesia . Malaysia is in the unusual position of using affirmative action to aid its majority population rather than protect its minorities.
In the West
China has figured in the Western imagination for more than two millenia in a variety of ways: positively, as an inventive, well-organized alternative civilization and negatively as a monolithic, repressive society.
In modern times, China has been ambivalent immigration source for the west and obviously Sinophobic policies and pronouncements were in evidence as late as the mid-20th century in the United States and Canada.
