Why do people look down on chinese people?

Question

During the 18th century...

Answer 1

I don't, some of my ancestors are Chinese. Chinese people are great with money and business. They are hard workers.  

Answer 2

Hello,

Well unfortunately the Chinese dynasty since the 16th century, after a great world exploration expedition shut most contact with the rest of the world. They developed a superiority type attitude toward "Western Barbarians" and greatly curtailed a lot of trade and business, put foreigners into ghettos so eventually resentment grew with eventual foreign intervention, Opium Wars etc.

Cheers,

Answer 9

Because there was nothing to look up to and nothing to equate with.They have done nothing for the last three hundred years or so and are now grasping for western technology and know how.Please,do not tell me about their Long March rocket.It is old Soviet technology as is their jet fighter.Their weaponry is woefully out of date to the point of most of it being obsolete,thankfully and with the western arms embargo in place,they only have their huge army to rely on.
