Chinese public becoming increasingly hostile to the rest of the world

[Kunal Biswas]

Chinese public is increasingly hostile toward rival nations, according to polling by the Pew Global Attitudes Project. This can only complicate Beijing's relations with its neighbors and global rivals in the years ahead.

The current Pew Global Attitudes survey, which is based on a disproportionately urban sample in China, finds that opinions about India have also soured. Today, 39 percent describe China's relationship with India as one of cooperation, down from 53 percent in 2010. The Chinese are also much more skeptical about whether economic growth in India is a good thing for China – in 2010, six in ten held this view, but only 44 percent do so now.

In 2010, 68 percent of Chinese characterized their country's relationship with the U.S. as one of cooperation, while just 8 percent said it was one of hostility. Now, only 39 percent describe ties in terms of cooperation and 26 percent say they are hostile.

Views about Japan are even more negative. Roughly four-in-ten (41 percent) say the relationship with Japan is one of hostility, while just 30 percent describe it in terms of cooperation.

Meanwhile, the EU, Pakistan, and Iran all also receive largely negative ratings from the Chinese public.Russia gets the highest marks. Still, less than half (48 percent) view Russia favorably.

it is important to note that public opinion can vary considerably across different segments of Chinese society. Typically, young, urban, well-educated, and higher-income Chinese express more positive views about other nations, and this is especially true regarding attitudes toward the U.S.

The increased "hostility" can be viewed against the backdrops of global economic recessions, typically in EU and the US where protectionism regains momentum. That certainly impacts a few export oriented sectors in China. Meanwhile, in the ongoing US presidential elections both candidates / parties vie with each other by talking tough on China to woo certain constiuencies. The "hostility" inevitably grows reciprocally when the media airs such anti-China sentiments instantly.

As for India, most Chinese AFAIK, remain indifferent like before. Hence don't see how such a decline in "positive" opinions comes about.

The rest of the world, that is a lot of countries.

Chinese public opinion? What does it matter for in China's policy formulation ?

However, I am interested in Pan-Indian survey and want to see what percentage of Indians really know what is the actual dispute India has with China.

Good for China to be hostile to all.

Don't know about dark skin, but Chinese do think their small eyes aren't anything to be proud of!

well, Chinese and India are working hard, making more and more money from these countries, we should like them, but Japs, the abnormal species in the world, Chinese indeed do not have to like them.

My, what big eyes you have: Young Chinese drive Korea's plastic surgery boom - CSMonitor.com

Dark skin, small eyes certainly are something Chinese feel proud of, or I could say most east Asians agree with me on that.

But Chinese affections for lighter skin has nothing to do with racism. We prefer light skin only because we think white skin is better looking, not because we think lighter skin means superiority. It is like all males prefer big boobs.

Chinese people talk about skin in their daily life, that is not some kind taboo as it is in many other countries.

I know it sounds offensive to many foreigners when they hear Chinese talking about their skin colors. But please understand, we not being racists.

In China, having dark skin is not ugly, but the ugliness lies in the discrimination that follows.

It has been already discussed in this forum!

Actually, they are very keen to have what is known as double eyelids.

They are also in the game of silicon implants for larger breasts.

I, however, think that the Chinese girls look good as it is without the surgery.

Indeed, skin colour is not about racism. It is just about aesthetics. They felt it in the same way in the USA and people called that racism.

"Han Chinese people are the most openly xenophobic people I have ever met."

That is so evident for all to see out here too!

The Canadian teacher David Szykulski's, who is of mixed-race, observation is not quite misplaced.

But then one has to move on because that is life!

Maybe big boobs is also about racism. But who knows, Ray may prefer someone with no boobs.

Yes, that is why I said that Chinese girls are interesting to observe.

I do believe that what God has forgotten should not be filled with cotton

I think the whole world over, people prefer lighter skinned individuals over dark skinned ones. Especially in societies where dark skinned people are the majority, lighter skinned individuals are often sought after as a "prize", hence they end up being cast as heroes in movies, get special treatment as strangers or extra points when it comes to marriage.

I think the human preference for light skin is probably an evolutionary trait to spot "clean" or "hygienic" looking partners or mates, although obviously dark skin has nothing to do with cleanliness. Just as you mentioned, the preference men have for women with bigger boobs because in evolutionary terms, men may have been programmed to look for mates with larger stores of breast milk for their offspring-its only recently been proven that breast size has nothing to do with milk production capacity.

Racism is generally defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that reflect the racial worldview: the ideology that humans are divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called "races". This ideology entails the belief that members of a race share a set of characteristic traits, abilities, or qualities, that traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural behavioral characteristics are inherited, and that this inheritance means that races can be ranked as innately superior or inferior to others.

Do Chinese people prefer lighter skin? Certainly we do. Do we believe lighter skin reflects innate superiority? No, we don't.

In fact, most east asians, or even southeast asians share the same affection for white skin color. One doesn't have to do a survey to understand that, you can even read it from random news article. Take the article below for example.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/w...ek-a-fortune-off-the-farm.html?pagewanted=all

Television shows regularly portray farmers as the embodiment of uncouth. And farmers' skin, darkened by the sun, has become a marker of lower social status in a country so obsessed with light skin that television and women's magazines are packed with advertisements touting skin-whitening creams. But there are also economic drivers.

Ms. Malinee says her dream is to become a teacher. Her friends at school, some of them also the children of farmers, want to be doctors, pharmacists and engineers. She seems slightly embarrassed about her farming roots."She's afraid of getting dark," said Namaoi Taengbang, a friend.

Do I need to post more? You deeply prejudiced people.

East Asians are obsessed with boobs! Even more so than Indians.
