When I wrote anti-chinese, I meant at the time - qing china. And the SCMP was created by a british "journalist" and Tse specifically to push anti-chinese propaganda at that time.
> That the Chinese government praised Sun Yat-sen, and printed a commemorative coin for his 150th birthday, seems at odds with your sentiment.
Why? The CCP can choose to celebrate parts of sun yat-sen's legacy which aligns with their own ideology - especially the destruction of china's feudal system. Also, you can praise sun yat-sen as a larger part of reincorporating taiwan back to the mainland.
We celebrate Robert E. Lee, does it make the US anti-US? Hell in the 1970s, the US celebrate Mao and Deng in order to grow our relationship. Doesn't make the US pro-communist.
