Exactly. What does taking over mean? A Chinese face on the street or a Chinese business opening up is not the same thing as taking over. There are problems with Chinese communities overseas....as there are with all human groups. The recently established Chinese communities in some South Pacific or African communities do not always work well with others (at least not at first) but the anti-Chinese narrative is suspiciously like anti-Semitism and as inexcusable. The exaggeration and suspicion, above all the lack of any sense of proportion, to the way the debate is developing is a scandal. Worse, it is a threat to us all. We are being manipulated.
