Should it be mentioned that China has a long history of driving foreigners out through violence? Starting with the Portuguese merchants who wanted to try and establish trade with them centuries ago.
At the moment the fixation is to drive out the Africans. They represent the largest expatriate community in China concentrated primarily in Guanzhao (Which in Cantonese is referred to as "Chocolate city"). Unfortunately the younger chinese (particularly men) are resentful at their apparent success as merchants (it's no easy thing to out compete the Chinese) and their marrying local girls. Attacks against Afrticans is always an ever present danger.
The CCP is careful not to directly attack them and put their investments in Africa at risk, But when the opportunity arises (such as COVID19 and Monkeypox) they stoke the fires of xenophobia specifically against this group. In stark contrast westerners are fawned over. There is a huge demand for white teachers, security and consultants. The modelling industry in China also hires white catwalk models.
But I'm sure there will come a time when the Chinese grow tired of worshipping white people and will drive them out of their country by force. They actually have a long history of doing this. Sometimes they're happy to open up to the West, other times they drive us out by force and become an isolated hermit state like North Korea is now or Japan used to be.
And if those armies of nationalistic 50 Cent Warriors trolling Twitter and Quora are anything to go by they're pretty much hoping to see Western Civilization crumble...
