no its bone deep, outright evil protagonist act anti social and get pulled sometimes by the ccp. i read thousands of asian stories by now it has been 15 years... at the extreme ends you get open racism, subtle to extreme nationalist subtones. korean stories sometimes introduce japanese villains for no reason that is almost a trope. interesting was when i learned how the chinese have revised their aid to vietnam in the vietnam war and recast the vietnamese as ungrateful when they fought back the chinese invasion attempt.
