註釋Shows how various social groups in China, in different periods (from 1605 to 1997), viewed the "Jews" as a homogeneous group in order to differentiate themselves from them. In China a negative attitude toward Jews was first connected to the images of Jews introduced by Catholic and Protestant missionaries in the 19th century. Chinese modernizers cited Jewish models for a national renaissance. Eugenics in China, as opposed to Germany, often viewed the Jews as a superior race, although Jews were also considered disease-prone. Other stereotypes were of Jews as intellectuals and as successful businessmen. Zionists were sometimes perceived positively as nationalists, but at other times as imperialists. In Japanese-occupied China, the Japanese (not the White Russian population or the Nazis) are blamed for anti-Jewish ideology and actions. Before the founding of Israel, there was sympathy for the Jews as victims of racial discrimination, but afterwards they were seen as tools of imperialism. Zionists were sometimes seen as capitalists and sometimes as victims of imperialism and fascism (especially under Mao). Recently, the stereotype of Jews as rich and successful has been touted as an inspiration for aspiring young Chinese capitalists.
