Did they say invaders or race. To keep everything honest can you supply link to your info. Please show an example were Chinese/Asians as racist. Will help establish dates of racism. Thanks
The
Boxer Rebellion,
Boxer Uprising or
Yihetuan Movement was a violent
anti-foreign,
anti-colonial, and
anti-Christian uprising that took place in
China between 1899 and 1901, towards the end of the
Qing dynasty. It was initiated by the Militia United in Righteousness (
Yihetuan), known in English as the "Boxers", and was motivated by proto-
nationalist sentiments and opposition to Western
colonialism and associated
Christian missionary activity.
The uprising took place against a background of severe drought and the disruption caused by the growth of foreign
spheres of influence. After several months of growing violence against both the foreign and
Christian presence in
Shandong and the
North China plain in June 1900, Boxer fighters, convinced they were invulnerable to foreign weapons, converged on
Beijingwith the slogan "Support the Qing government and exterminate the foreigners." Foreigners and Chinese Christians sought refuge in the
Legation Quarter. In response to reports of an armed invasion to lift the siege, the initially hesitant
Empress Dowager Cixi supported the Boxers and on June21 issued an
Imperial Decree declaring war on the foreign powers. Diplomats, foreign civilians and soldiers as well as
Chinese Christians in the Legation Quarter were placed under siege by the Imperial Army of China and the Boxers for 55 days.
.Sounds pretty racist to me
