Anti–People's Republic of China sentiment (Chinese: 反中華人民共和國), also known as anti-China (Chinese: 反中 or 反華), anti-PRC (Chinese: 抗中), anti-CCP, or anti-Beijing sentiment, is antipathy to the People's Republic of China (PRC). "Anti-PRC" is different from "anti-Chinese sentiment" in cultural and ethnic contexts, but they sometimes appear at the same time and are described as "Sinophobia".
Reasons cited for opposing the People's Republic of China include the policies of its government and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the suppression of democracy in China, human rights abuses, intelligence activities, diplomatic practices, threats to dissidents, oppression of secessionist movements, as well as negative impressions of its nationals.
Concerns over the increasing economic and military power of China, its technological prowess and cultural reach, as well as international influence, has been attributed to drive negative media coverage of China. This is often also exhibited by policymakers and politicians.
