I would wager that most Chinese people fear racism and prejudism towards them more than Ma considering how common and politically popular Sinophobia has become again. Ma is still a billionaire, his position is not attainable for most no matter how they look at it. But Sinophobia is a household thing now.

I would wager that you are completely wrong for thinking this. Chinese people fear racism and prejudism towards them from whom? The US? Even taking the statement "Sinophobia is common [in the US]" at face value (even though it's wrong), Chinese people living in China care about that as much as Americans care about the vast majority of Africa and the Middle East hating them, which is to say not a whole lot.

And yet you seem very intent on correcting what you think is oh-so-wrong: the rest of the world perceiving the US as a little too pretentious. Could it be that the people of the US might actually care what the rest of the world thinks about their country? Could you possibly imagine the same is true for someone in China?
