From what I’ve gathered, it’s not because it’s becoming more hostile, but rather they are no longer getting any privileges because of the complexion.

“If you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Outside of the availability of White Monkey jobs (which has dried up recently) niether led a very priveledged life in China. Property ownership was not possible, getting a WeChat, employment and phone # was tough, and they were often ripped off due to being foriegners.

Chinese nationalism has been promoted much more by the CCP over he last 2 years and has turned public sentiment against foriegners pretty severely.

You're playing whataboutism. Whether or not everyone else is perfect is not relevant to the statement I made. China has clearly and unapologetically established its place in the world.

Consider it being put on the No Fly List.

You don’t have to be charged to be put on it.

It looks like OP has different experiences that let’s them see the situation more clearly.

Other countries will make up terms like “collateral damage” when they drone strike a wedding just to kill one target.
