Nope, plenty of bigots here aren't. Here's are some examples in this very thread.

Might sound xenophobic to some but it's true. They are not a polite cultured people. They are unworldly and have little to no clue about the manners of fitting in with a host country's ways when they travel. Disgusting personal habits that really put other people off. The spitting, gawking and staring, pushing and shoving in line and general disrespect for others' personal space. There's even a book about this called The Ugly Chinaman written by a Taiwanese author named Bo Yang. The title is a call-back to the phrase "The Ugly American" popularized by Europeans in the 50s and 60s. An outdated stereotype of the Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian shirt wearing loud American rube exclaiming about the disgustingness of escargot in a Parisian restaurant and demanding a cheeseburger. Now the world's ugly boorish provincial travelers are the Chinese.

Where are the mods when this kind of bordering racist statement is posted on this site?

Hmmm ... like zero? Nobody thinks they can be like Americans and nobody wants it. What do you mean we've succeeded? They couldn't be more different. Look it's not just an American thing ... pretty much the whole world wants them to develop some manners.

Much of the Western economies have been backing away from Chinese products for a few years now. Especially, Japan, Australia, & the U.S.. Some in Europe too. A global strategic sourcing plan is underway, & China's not part of it. Products having to do with national defense, & healthcare are being sourced elsewhere, and not from China.

I dont see the current uprising as being a revolution, but more of a resistance. We'll see where it goes.

Only if you read and believe MSM.
The fact is Germany is moving more production to China, not less.
The Dutch, Japan and Korea are ignore our calls to not sell chips and chip making equipment to China.


Everything you read in MSM about China should be taken with a dump truck full of salt.
