Anti-People's Republic of China (Chinese: 反中華人民共和國), simply anti-PRC (Chinese: 反中; lit. 'anti-China')[1][2][3][4][a] or anti-Beijing[5] is antipathy to the People's Republic of China (PRC), opposition to its government, opposition to the social system and ideology of the Chinese Communist Party, opposition to its diplomatic actions, or behavior of its nationals. "Anti-PRC" (反中) is different from "anti-Chinese sentiment" in cultural and ethnic contexts (Chinese: 反華),[4] but they sometimes appear at the same time. In the western world, fear over the increasing economic and military power of China, its technological prowess and cultural reach, as well as international influence, has driven persistent and selectively negative media coverage of China. This is often aided and abetted by policymakers and politicians,[6][7] whose actions are driven both by prejudice and expedience.[8]
Reasons cited for opposing the People's Republic of China include opposition to the one-party rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), opposing the suppression of Chinese democracy, human rights abuses, dissidents being arrested and threatened with personal safety, and strong oppression of internal separatist movements. PRC is the current one-party states, so "anti-CCP" is used in a similar or identical sense to "anti-PRC".[9]
