RE: the Chinese value money over everything else and will do anything to get it.
Convert some of the Mel Brooks jokes about Jews ( and make them Chinese ) and you’d have a similar stereotype.
well let’s see, the Chinese put melamine in pet food, the Chinese put fox meat in with donkey meat, the Chinese paint toys with lead paint.................hmmmm, don’t think the Jewish people do those things
That is correct. And the same thing has been said, at various times and places, about Armenians, Lebanese, Swiss, Englishmen, Dutch, Yankees, etc. Its the usual complaint by an established gentry class against an upwardly mobile minority.
