A lot of Chinese novels, especially those set in modern times, contain overt racism and nationalism. It's part of the national education system in China. Teachers would instill patriotism in students by reminding them of the evils of Japan, Korea and Vietnam and the rest of the world. Remember also that China is under one-party rule. Unlike the USA, they do not have liberal politicians to balance out the overt nationalism of the conservatives there.
I remember several incidents where ramen shops in China were attacked simply because the nationalists didn't want Japanese culture to take root in China. Even though the owners of the ramen shops were Chinese nationals themselves.
Anyway, since you asked for it, I have compiled a list of Chinese novels that DO NOT contain racism or nationalism. However, because I don't want to exclude 99.99% of Chinese novels out there, let's have a few guidelines in place. So if the majority of the novel's super-powered families or characters all have Chinese names, let's live with that. If the protagonist happens to think that Chinese cuisine is far more delicious than French food, let's live with that. And I am also fine with novels where the few foreigners who appear all play supporting roles.
What I want to exclude from this list are novels where almost all the Japanese/Korean/American characters are evil bastards out to destroy Chinese civilization. Or where they appear for no good reason other than to give a hate speech about the Chinese. Or where women of a particular race (Japanese) somehow deserve to be raped just because of what happened during WW2.
Please continue to offer your recommendations for this list. I will keep updating the list here based on the recommendations coming in, and categorize them according to their genres.
