A succession of Chinese governments has periodically stoked it for their own purposes - from the Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the century to Chiang Kai-shek's neofascist New Life Movement of the 1930s, to Mao's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s.
At such times, it is useful to divert to foreign targets the frustrations of the masses, and to tap into the deep-seated sense of grievance toward the West.

`xenophobic` Bush
At its 22nd International Congress in Brazil, the Socialist International issued a Declaration that identifies "exacerbated nationalism" and "xenophobic attitudes" as threats to peace.

 Criticism: Fair Exotics: Xenophobic Subjects in British Literature, 1720-1850   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Fair Exotics: Xenophobic Subjects in British Literature, 1720-1850, by Rajani Sudan.
Rajani Sudan's Fair Exotics: Xenophobic Subjects in British Literature, 1720-1850 insightfully extends a growing body of criticism that examines the shaping force ideas about the Other (national, colonial, gendered) exerts on British literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly Daniel Defoe, Samuel Johnson, Thomas De Quincey, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley and Charlotte Bronte.
Somewhat less successfully, the book participates in (without discussing) another movement that seeks to extend the romantic period back into the eighteenth century, by arguing that romantic patterns of imagining the colonial and gendered other--and by extension the subject--can be traced back to Robinson Crusoe.
