Anti-Chinese sentiment is an irrational fear or dislike of China, Chinese people and/or Chinese culture; it is also referred to as Sinophobia.[1][2][3][4] The relative economic success of ethnic Han Chinese minority in SE Asia has made them the object of envy and even resentment-driven violence[5][6]. Furthermore, the rise of China and the fear of it overtaking the US has fueled visceral alarmism and China-threat theories[7]. Persistent negative media coverage of China, driven in the main by policymakers and politicians[8], has contributed greatly to anti-Chinese sentiment. This has taken the form of selective coverage of events and the use of negative tones and frames[9].

It is frequently directed at Chinese minorities which live outside China and involves immigration, nationalism, political ideologies, disparity of wealth, the past tributary system of Imperial China, majority-minority relations, imperial legacies, and racism.[10][11][12][note 1]

A variety of popular cultural clichés and negative stereotypes of Chinese people have existed around the world since the twentieth century, and they are frequently conflated with a variety of popular cultural clichés and negative stereotypes of other Asian ethnic groups, known as the Yellow Peril.[15] Some individuals may harbor prejudice or hatred against Chinese people due to history, racism, modern politics, cultural differences, propaganda, or ingrained stereotypes.[15][16]
