Americans should understand that Asians were humiliated in the early 20th century by European dominance of their political and economic lives. The French in Indochina, The British in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and India, the Dutch in Indonesia and the Americans in the Philippines. The Japanese who had defeated the Russians and took over Germany’s Pacific interests, saw themselves as special and charged themselves with the liberation of Asia.Of course they were imperialistic and cruel, but the anti European sentiment and resentment was real. That sentiment is manifested today by China as it bitterly resents American political and military involvement in Asian affairs.

So as they threaten Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, and Russia, South Korea, etc and are working in Africa, it is because they don't like American?

Your description sounds strange, is China the boss of of all peoples and nations of the Asian race?
