I happen to live in Russia. There are good and bad people, but Russians are very xenophobic and here, we don’t feel much friendliness from them most of the time. What more, the legal system and institutions here are very poor and robbers are especially common, especially among people of the Commonwealth of Independent States, such as those people from Tajikistan. Here, we practically don’t interact much with that country’s people.

Only in China are foreigners treated as being a higher class of people. In any country in the [rest of the] world, there are xenophobic behaviors, because foreigners take job opportunities away from them, so being anti-foreigner is very normal.

Wrong, Russia is particularly xenophobic… I’ve visited before, my childhood friend studies in Russia, and the [living environment in] top 10 major cities are about the same as in China’s counties. The people are not the least bit friendly. What more, China’s greatest enemy in modern history is not Japan and not America but rather Russia! Those who don’t understand this, please get over the Great Firewall and supplement your brain [knowledge].

Either way, the national conditions in Russia are definitely different from what is propagandized by the Heavenly Kingdom‘s CCAV and promoted in [Chinese] military TV programs.

Let me tell you people why Chinese people are always being robbed abroad!!!!!
Chinese people are like sheep, with natures that are weak and easily bullied, their physique generally not as big and strong as white people/black people, and after being bullied, they dismiss big things as small things and small things as nothing, valuing peace [avoiding trouble] above all, only knowing how to fight amongst themselves, never uniting into a group that fights outward!!!!!
Good people are bullied by people, good horses are ridden by people!!! You always pick the soft persimmons [people bully the weak]!!!

What you don’t want done to you, don’t do to others??? Foreigners don’t think so!!!
Only one’s own interests/benefit is the definition of justice and the yardstick of evil!!! Limited resources, survival, power, interests, military power!!!
Foreigners continue to have the nature of encroachment and of wolves, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, accommodating the strong, doing business with the strong and robbing the weak!!!!!

If you don’t invade and expand when strong and powerful, are you supposed to invade and expand when weak and small??? If you are weak and feeble, then the one who gets robbed is you!!!
In your own ethnic group, treat others as you would have others treat you; but towards outsiders, you should be ruthless!!!
China’s wealth and strength and military support remains insufficient; What is also needed among overseas Chinese is a nature of unity (which is far weaker than that of Japanese people) and of a wolf (of being bold and fierce)!!!!
In 1945, Chiang dispatched Wang Shijie, sold out Outer Mongolia, to get Soviet Russia to send troops to Manchuria.
Just who made the Begonia into a big rooster [the shape of China’s borders on maps?]??? Would Russia spit out the benefits/gains it already had in hand??? [Would China] fight an all-out nuclear war with Russia???

Russia is not just China’s enemy, it’s even more the enemy of the world’s people.
