In my textbook, the author has compared certain aspects of Christianity with capitalism, but merely because of the messy relationships, not because of the religion itself originally. 2ndly, demonization of China appeared since the 18th century. Some political cartoons even depict that, therefore in a sense, Chinese had never been treated as at least equal since the Opium Wars. A way to help explain would be: (Western Imperialism in China) stretched all the way till WW2, where then even though a break was given to Chinese since China is now part of the Allies, racial discrimination and inequality back in the West towards local Asians remained. Once CCP hatched, the new association is what we know of today. In a sense and with that said, even without political enmity, Chinese still remained a competing character simply because of racisms and fear of Chinese whether as its national strength or as racism/immigration(competition of jobs).
Well i respect your opinion becuase this is a J-20 thread not a historical thread, but as my last response, i can tell you that South Korea, Taiwan and Japan are also asian, and the west does not see them like they see China.
The reason why the west see China as an antagonist, has to do the Chinese political system and the Chinese foreign policies.
Example, now Japan is building a stealth fighter, but in the west there are not alarm bells because of that, and the main reason is Japan is capitalist, a democratic monarchy as England and Japan has no nuclear weapons.
Most western nations are multi-cultural, secular and democratic, thus most of human rights are respected included their citizens of asian descent and these days is very common to see western people married to asians.
So why China then is considered an antagonist?
Simple in the UN security 5 permanent members Russia and China oppose the Western policies, thus J-20 and T-50 are deterrent to western pressures.
China as well as Russia by building their own fleet of stealth fighters and support policies that do not agree with the west become the antagonists of the West.
So the J-20 becomes a weapon agression unlike the Eurofighter or the japanese F-3.
