Throw in rampant racism and genocide.

The Han Chinese majority has nothing but contempt for any and all minorities within their country. What they've done to many others (think Tibet - for one example) is very reminiscent of Hitler's views about "non-Aryans".

We (many Walmart shoppers - for instance) are playing our own part in our eventual capitulation to the Chinese. We are buying the rope they'll eventually use to hang us with.
