> The pianist actually did try to grab that woman, look at the video Although his hand can't be seen, it definitely seems he just came closer to the flag or hand It's for sure extremely unlikely he was assaulting, which is what the scream of the Chinese implied. --- > He was calling them "Japanese" while cracking jokes about "Chinese government" and mocking their language skills, while the woman he tried to grab was explaining to him that she is actually British. That's clearly racist That's compatible to just not liking the Chinese dictatorship, and it's typical for the Chinese government to accuse of racism anyone who criticizes them. There might be racism here though. --- > There are myriad of possible reasons a person could be holding some nations flag other than to show support for a certain political force within that nation. I'm not Chinese but I don't think I'd be happy to hold that flag if I didn't support the CCP system. After all the biggest star represents the CCP. But it might well be so that in some occasions (e.g. sport events) you genuinely use it with good intents. Actual racism towards Asians is in any case very rare, in my experience Anyhow, Chinese citizens are mostly victims, and you should indeed not treat them in that way for what their government does.
