Full Title: On the Source, Essence of “Yellow Peril” Doctrine and Its Latest Hegemony “Variant” – the “China Threat” Doctrine: From the Perspective of Historical Mainstream of Sino-Foreign Economic Interactions and Their Inherent Jurisprudential Principles

【Abstract】For the past decade, confronting the reality of China’s peaceful rising, certain American politicians, army-men and scholars have been vigorously preaching the “China Threat Doctrine”. Through the historical mirrors, it is not hard to discern that such doctrine is nothing but a current “variant” under contemporary situations of the once clamorous “Yellow Peril Doctrine”fabricated and preached by Russian Tsar and German Emperor in 19 th century. Both the past and the current version of such doctrines share the same DNA in distorting the historical mainstream of Sino-foreign interactions for the past thousands of years, as well as in playing certain political legerdemain. They are endeavoring to spiritually and publicly mobilize people for invasive activities and aggressions against China. Thus, they are essentially slogans of traditional colonialism and imperialism. Based on the historical facts of Sino-foreign economic interactions and the jurisprudential principles therein, this Article discloses that such Doctrines have severely deviated from historical truth. Furthermore, this Article reminds all decent people not to take a casual attitude on the practical outcome of “Yellow Peril Doctrine” and “China Threat Doctrine”. On the contrary, people shall be aware of and prepare for the danger in times of peace, and shall not act as cat’s paws for American hegemonists.
