Why did Hitler despise the Chinese?
The Internet once circulated that Hitler liked the Chinese, is this true?
The answer is: false.
The truth is this: not only did Hitler dislike the Chinese, but Hitler looked down on the Chinese very much, and in Hitler's eyes, the Chinese were "inferior people".
In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler said:
“...... There is an uncanny cognitive error that the Negro or Chinese can become German because he has learned German and is willing to speak it in the future, or even vote for a German party, our bourgeoisists can never clearly see that this process of 'Germanization' is in fact a kind of 'de-Germanization'...... This process is not 'Germanization', but the destruction of Germany's vitality......"
What Hitler meant by this passage was that it was very important to maintain the purity of the blood of the German nation, and that the blood of any other nation should not be allowed to "pollute" the blood of the German nation, such as blacks and Chinese, which were "inferior." Even if blacks and Chinese learn to speak German, they are not worthy of being Germans. This is what Hitler meant.
Hitler's words exposed his deep prejudice, contempt and contempt for us Chinese.
In 1933, Liu Chongjie (born and died: 1880-1956, from Fuzhou), then Chinese ambassador to Germany, read Hitler's "Mein Kampf", read such a paragraph, he was very angry, Liu Chongjie immediately protested to the German government in the name of the Republic of China government, at that time the German government was divided, said good, good, the next reprint, we deleted this paragraph, but the German government did not take it seriously, "Mein Kampf" has been reprinted countless times, and has never deleted this paragraph of contempt for the Chinese.
In fact, Hitler not only looked down on the Chinese in language and writing, but also in actual action, Hitler and the Nazi Party under his leadership were also very rude and barbaric towards the Chinese.
Example 1: After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Nazi Germany, as an ally of Japan, began to exclude Chinese, and on January 25, 1938, the Nazi SS established the "Chinese Center" (Zentralstelle für Chinese), which was specifically responsible for suppressing the number of Chinese in Germany, and was very contemptuous of people, Chinese living in Germany were not allowed to live with German women, otherwise they would refuse to renew and deport.
Example 2: In 1942, the "Chinese Center" (Zentralstelle für Chinese) in Nazi Germany arrested all 323 Chinese in Berlin's Chinatown and put them in concentration camps on charges of "collaborating with the enemy", "espionage", and "working on British warships".
Example 3: On May 13, 1944, the Nazi "Gestapo" (secret police) dispatched a large number of men and horses to suddenly besiege Chinatown in Hamburg, Germany, and arrested more than 130 Chinese who were making a living there on the grounds of "collaborating with the enemy", and then imprisoned them in concentration camps, and confiscated all the passports and belongings of these Chinese. After being imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps, these Chinese were forced to work and brutally abused, and according to the available historical archives, at least 17 Chinese were persecuted to death by the Nazis. Not only that, but the German women who worked for the Chinese in Chinatown at that time were also arrested by the Nazis, and the girlfriends, wives, and even ordinary friends of the local Chinese were also arrested by the Nazis, and they were stigmatized by the Nazi Party as "Chinese sluts", and then they were charged with "blasphemy against the German race" and sent to concentration camps.

It should be noted that these are only three of them, and in history, there are many incidents of persecution of Chinese in Nazi Germany, which are limited by space and will not be listed one by one.
Today, when we look back on these histories, we know that the so-called "Hitler was friendly to China" and "Nazi was friendly to China" and other Internet rumors are all myths and fakes.
