Anti-American sentiment in China

Anti-Americanism in China began with a general disdain for foreigners in the early 19th century amid a background of a declining Qing Dynasty and exploitation by Western powers, culminating in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. The 1905 Chinese boycott of American goods to protest discrimination against the Chinese living in America also had a significant negative impact on Chinese attitudes. After the Chinese Civil War, the United States and China fought in the Korean War, in which 148,000 Chinese soldiers died, which also strained relations for both sides. Relations warmed up after 1970, but large-scale anti-American sentiments significantly increased since US President Donald Trump launched a trade war against China in the late 2010s.
