The expat community of the westerners in China has never assimilated
into the Chinese community since day 1. How come they have not been the
victims of chaos in China? In the US, the Chinese have been living
there for years and they do contribute a lot and have become part of
the main stream American life. But whenever there is problem between
the US and China, the Chinese community immediately becomes the target
of witch hunt.

I think the chaos against the Chinese, like that in Indonesia, is
institutionalized. Where is the army when the looting and burning took
place in Chinatown?


The white expats remain expats and would never have dirtied their
hands by dealing directly with the natives. The type of work white
expats do a native can rarely aspire to without the money and
connections, and perhaps the education. They always hired natives to
do their work with the natives. There are also too few of them and
they remain absconded in their exclusive private clubs and high
offices. However, the Chinese run local shops and do retail trade.
They see the natives day in day out. The natives would wish the
Chinese hire them to do the type of retail work and profit from the
small businesses Chinese do. The Chinese business doesn't seem to
hard for a native to take over. Also if they destroy the Chinese
petty traders there is no retialiation. The local rulers know there
will be no fallout from the Chinese government or the local Chinese
community. Its easy for the natives to blame and vent their
frustrations on the Chinese community thaqt has little to deserve
their frustrations. I'm rambling but oyu get bthe idea.
