Please provide an example of “foreign intervention”. The term tends to be used by the PRC whenever they want other nations to back out of an INTERNATIONAL dispute which they have created.
@Andy – Do I detect a hint of racism in your statement?

That is a big question.
1. What kind of modernization? only economically or do you mind of politically?
2. Which country conduct the intervention?
3. There are different Chinese. Some may welcome, some may disagree.

I am over 50% Cherokee Indian and would have to say Andy knows nothing about the statements he makes. A fact or some credible source of information might help but his statements are just to far fetched and vague. My blood line comes from the Bluebird and Bobwhite line of the Coosa Nation. As for your question, it is almost as vague and misleading as Andy. I would have to agree with what WNL stated, this “modern experience with foreign intervention” sounds like the trillions of investment money spent by the Western Nations in China. The “attitudes of the Chinese people towards the West and Japan” come from a single controlled news outlet that only broadcast what the rulers of China want the people to hear. Do you want a example? When the Japanese coastal boat and the Chinese fishing vessel run into each other the rulers said (the controlled news source in China) the Japanese rammed the unarmed fishing vessel. They repeated this accusation up until the video was leaked showing the fishing vessel tried to ram the Japanese not once, not twice but multiply times. This is not meant as any reflection on the good people of China only towards the rulers of China. China is only one nation as is the US. Most countries do as they see best for their people, not what the US or China tell them to do. Even with all the money and economic leverage China has the majority of nations on this planet do not support China’s goals. Excuses are easy to make up and nobody believes them. For any answer that you do not like the solution is to change the answer not make up excuses.
I would say both xenophobic and xenocentric… for example, usually Chinese people love to buy Western and Japanese products and think that Western countries/Japan are more advanced than China and that China has a lot to learn from them, but if some international incident happens which negatively affects China, the nationalism flares up, and Japan and the West becomes the enemy.
