You started this thread by calling for a Qing restoration and in a handful of tweets were blaming them for Taiping.

I wonder if there are Han nationalists who hate the Qing not for trumped-up Commie reasons but because they were Manchus. Probably.

I think so--iirc mainlander chinese nationalism is berserk level to the point where ccp has to tamp it down sometimes other snippets too jiangshi typically portrayed in manchu garb to show they're extra evil

I knew that about Mainlander ultra-nationalism. Had not known that about Jiangshi! Now I want to rewatch some fantasy wuxia to see if I can spot that.

Hmm, this couldn't have been as strong in the 50s, since Legend of the Condor Heroes has far more nuanced portrayal of Jurchens than seems possible today. Wonder if the 2017 adaptation made them more evil.

Gotcha. Same boat. Most of my knowledge of Mainland China (outside wuxia shows) comes from a single source, the Scholar's Stage blog. Good source IMO, but I'm definitely very limited in what I've picked up.
