Learning from their history, especially their occupation and humiliation by Foreign Occupiers, the Chinese prepared and fortified themselves over the years so that people of the European Stock, whatever they call themselves (American, Australian, Canadian, etc), would never bully and humiliate them again.
Sadly and unfortunately, we in Africa, the only people who suffered the twin carnage of enslavement and colonization, refused to learn any lesson.
