Let those peasants in the United States wail in front of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. The Chinese people do not cause trouble, nor are they afraid of trouble. Pressure, threats and blackmail are not the right way to deal with China.

This from one of their party higher-ups in Hong Kong.

He was responding to this quote from J.D. Vance:

“To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.”

Regardless, BOTH sides are spouting BS. If I may speak on behalf of all the non-Chinese Asians:
China and Chinese civilization are no paragons of nonviolence and truth and charity and niceness. Chinese pirates have always been a menace. Koreans and Vietnamese had to repulse China multiple times.
The best that can be said is that they WERE not as bloodthirsty as the Western savages. Maybe because their science and technology voodoo was not as advanced in the past as now. But they could be just as bad or worse, regardless of the number of years of civilization. Nothing in Chinese culture will stop that. Power, money, racism are all drugs and now the Chinese have plenty of all three.
