19 19 Why did the British look down on China people before the founding of New China?

19 19 in the eyes of the British and other Europeans, there is only Europe in the world, only Japan in Asia can barely enter, and only the United States in America.

Japan defeated Russia because of the Russo-Japanese War, and the United States participated in the Allied War because of World War I. However, at that time, the British generally believed that the Japanese and Americans were nouveau riche, although they had some money, but they were vulgar and barbaric.

As for other countries, it is not in their eyes at all.

Only in the Korean War did China prove its strength, and Europeans and Americans began to truly realize China's strength. Now that China's economy is developed, they still think that China, although rich, is barbaric and vulgar, just like when they saw Japan and the United States.
