There is one article from the BBC summed up everything about Chinese perception about the west. So do you think Chinese people still view the westerners as "devils"? If so, can someone give me an insightful explanation.

I don't know by these fifty centers always blame foreigners for everything happened in China, when it is clearly the CCP itself who did all the problems. Do they ever make any sense? They keep distorting fact and bluff the whole people. Do they even know the words of responsibility and consciousness in their minds? They are insanely stupid!

China Says Foreign Makers of Baby Formula May Be Fixing Prices

By EDWARD WONG

Published: July 3, 2013

BEIJING — The Chinese government is investigating possible price fixing by foreign companies that produce infant milk powder for Chinese consumers, according to reports this week by the state news media.

Targets of the investigation include some of the largest foreign producers, including Nestlé of Switzerland, Danone of France and Mead Johnson Nutrition of the United States. A Danone representative said in an e-mail on Tuesday that Danone was cooperating with the investigation, and representatives of other companies have acknowledged the investigation to various news organizations.

Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency, reported on Tuesday that foreign companies were being investigated by the National Development and Reform Commission, an agency that helps set and execute economic policy. Xinhua said the foreign companies “are believed to have manipulated and raised the price of baby formula in the China market.”

The report said the companies were suspected of retaliating against sellers in China who refused to raise their prices. The actions included imposing fines, halting the supply of the products and reducing available rebates, the Xinhua report said.

In mainland China, foreign-made infant milk powder can be more than twice as expensive as the same brands in Western countries, and costs much more than Chinese-made formula. Chinese who travel to Hong Kong or overseas often buy milk powder there. This has led the Hong Kong government to impose limits on the amount of milk powder that can be taken out by visitors. Some stores overseas limit sales.

Foreign milk powder surged in popularity in China after a 2008 scandal in which at least six infants died and 300,000 children fell ill after drinking domestic milk powder formula tainted with a toxic chemical, melamine. Virtually all major Chinese makers of milk powder were found to have tainted products.

The People’s Daily, the official publication of the Communist Party, said in a commentary on Wednesday that since 2008, foreign milk powder companies had increased their prices in China by around 30 percent. Foreign milk powder has 60 percent of the market share in China, compared with 30 percent before 2008, the commentary said.

The Beijing Times reported Wednesday that about a dozen companies were under investigation, including some domestic ones. The newspaper cited an employee of the National Development and Reform Commission, saying, “One of the goals is to lower the price.”

Since the enactment of an antimonopoly law in August 2008, Chinese government agencies have aggressively pursued some antitrust cases against foreign companies. A notable example was the rejection in 2009 of Coca-Cola’s bid to buy the China Huiyuan Juice Group. At the time, the Commerce Ministry released a statement saying that the acquisition would have given Coca-Cola “a dominating position in the domestic market.”

In January, Chinese regulators fined two South Korean companies, LG and Samsung, and four Taiwanese companies for fixing the prices of flat-panel screens sold to Chinese manufacturers. The companies were ordered to repay the equivalent of $27 million to Chinese customers and were fined a total of $22.8 million.

Some foreign business owners have questioned whether Chinese agencies are using the antimonopoly law to protect Chinese companies from foreign competition.

The People’s Daily commentary said Chinese milk powder companies should take advantage of the investigation to focus on producing “high-quality, low-cost products.”

“In fact, it is very possible for China-made milk powder to replace imported ones or even defeat their foreign counterparts and sell their products to the overseas market by improving the quality and regaining consumer confidence,” it said.

White people with the tan skin look horrible, they look like lobsters.

Asians with the bleached skin look horrible, they look like painted corpses.

Black people with the bleached skin look horrible, they look like artificial clowns.

I prefer all ethnicities above with their natural skin color, meaning that they still maintain their natural born with skin color. But they still know how to keep it clean and healthy (not necessarily tanned for white people, or fair for blacks and asians).

I am Asian and I don't have very fair skin. Mine is somewhat medium colored and I don't want to bleach it fairer like some Asians do. I was born and raised in Asia, and I don't like to see that some girls here like to bleach their skin. And I also don't like see some white people who tanned themselves until they got sunburn and lobster complexion. Black people with their natural skin color is also quite intriguing, nothing ugly about it.

I support natural healthy skin color instead, meaning that they still maintain their natural born with complexion. But they know how to keep it healthy, smooth, and clean.

The journal said like this:

"The northern Chinese and Koreans have high rates of blood group B, and lower rates of blood group A."

Why do they high percentage of B blood type? I mean higher than other Asians. It is got something to do with the Mongolian or Siberian bloods they have. Because I have read somewhere that B blood type is originated from Mongolia and Siberia. Can someone please give me enlightment, thank you.

Northern Chinese are taller and fairer compared to Southern Chinese.

Northern Indians are taller and fairer compared to Southern Indians.

Northern Europeans are taller and fairer compared to Southern Europeans.

Northern Italians are taller and fairer compared to Southern Italians.

Northern Indonesians (Kalimantan, Manado) are taller and fairer compared to Southern Indonesians (Java, Bali).

Northern Thais are taller and fairer compared to Southern Thais.

Northern Americans (U.S and Canada) are taller and fairer compared to Southern Americans (Peru, Mexico, Panama).

Northern mexicans are taller and fairer compared to Southern Mexicans.

Etc.

What factors that make most people from the regions above have the tendency to have those traits? I have been wondering so far. I am not trying to be stupid, but I'm just extremely curious right now.

Thanks.

I am Chinese from Indonesia, born and raised in Indonesia. I have just been wondering what do mainland Chinese think of Indonesian of Chinese ancestry? Do Chinese in China treat them differently?

Well I'm Chinese girl but I'm not from China, I'm from Indonesia but ethnic wise I'm Chinese and I was born and raised in Indonesia. Lately I feel so sad because people always said that korean and japanese girls are pretty not Chinese. I don't consider myself as ugly as I have quite a confidence with my ethnic look. But I just want to burst out my tears when people like to praise korean and japanese girls like some kind of goddess. This is just not fair, I mean I personally think the three of them ( Chinese, Korean, and Japanese) are very pretty in their own way. Japanese are cute, I like them and Koreans are cool I like them too. So, do you think Chinese girls can be as cute/cool as Koreans and Japanese? Because I'm really proud of being Chinese and I'm proud of my culture.
