Removed "one-sided media". POV. If you're going to put "supposed" or "alleged Western bias", calling the CCP media one-sided in the same article is obvious bias. Huaxia (talk) 22:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not to start anything but is it just me or is all this "anti-West" stuff stuff that the West really did and China is sending backlashes for those actions? I mean the whole article paints the picture that because 3 people were bombed by a plane that "had the wrong map" or Olympic torch runners were attacked, that the Chinese public decided to go "anti-West" over it. Seems to me like the "anti-West" stuff is to be expected when people have really been hurt or injured or attacked by the west. Can we actually get some proof of anti-West that isn't a reaction to violence from the west? Sinophobia is defined by violence by the fearful against the Chinese like the Chinese massacre of 1871, but this article looks like its all reactions by the Chinese to violence against the Chinese. lol Can you really call anti-Sinophobia the same thing as anti-West? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.213.212 (talk) 21:02, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly the Ethnic Issues in China article shows some major incidents of "racism" in China. These include the Opium Wars? The Opium Wars? Really? How is it racist to defend the country against foreign invaders that have been poisoning its people with opiates illegally? Are African slaves that kill their slavers racist against whites? Then there's the Boxer Rebellion. Again are you kidding? So you have eight to ten industrialized European/Japanese nations all making decisions about what to do with Chinese land WITHOUT the Chinese and rebelling against that and the dynasty that's allowed it is racism? I guess the Americans were racist against their British oppressers then. Then and this is the kicker, the Second Sino-Japanese War is RACISM! WHAT? Does that mean the Jews are racist against Nazi Germany? When a country tries GENOCIDE on you how can anybody of sound mind even THINK that that's racist to hate them?

If the section 'Understanding Anti-Western sentiment in China' purports to explain the phenomenon then surely the possibility of real bias from the 'Western' (US & European) media should be cited. After all, the one-sidedness of the Chinese media is included. The absence of this factor suggests that anti-western sentiment in China is completely unfounded. No rational person would argue that this was the case for, say, anti-white sentiment on the part of African-Americans. Things such as the 'Yellow Peril' are documented historical fact and even now there are studies aplenty that prove that many Americans do in fact fear and dislike China. Surely its not unreasonable to assume that some of these Sinophobic may emerge in Western media coverage, particularly from relatively right-wing media outlets such Fox News.
Hi, Western media bias is discussed as a contributing factor in the first section (section 1.3) so mabye the problem is with the second section (section 2) being called "understanding anti-western sentiment" as this title suggests that the factors below are the only factors in understanding anti-western sentiment. If the title is changed to "other factors in understanding anti-Western sentiment" would that solve the problem?
"Many Chinese, however, argued that their anti-western sentiment comes from the western media's one-sided and selective coverage to demonize China. Many Chinese believe behind this it is the western-supremacism: the west believe the west deserve ruling the planet but China is the biggest potential rival to the west."
