    I wouldn't doubt the claims I've heard of xenophobia among parts of the Chinese populace, particularly with stories of anti-black racism and discrimination in areas which attract African visitors and immigrants, like Guangzhou (One of which was a police brutality case). Not necessarily a systemic issue (or so I think) so much as individual cases of bigotry, culture shock and cultural conservatism, but still worth noting.

    Of course, using those stories to claim "China" "hates" black people, especially from a Western source, is lmao

      Oh yeah, there's always the possibility of culture shock causing those issues. It's more that Americans say it as a whataboutism to ignore how their country has created a ingrained institutional racism against not only blacks but any and all minorities that come over to the US.
