On the one hand, Spain does have anti-China sentiment. There is also a reason for this. In 1980s and 1990s, many people in China went to Europe and America to start businesses, mainly opening grocery stores and Chinese restaurants. There are also many Chinese shops in Spain. At that time, due to the domestic industrial base, the quality of madeinChina was really average, which seriously became synonymous with "cheap goods" in Spain. In addition, some China bosses are opportunistic and too smart in doing business, such as thinking about how to avoid taxes, hiring illegal employees without Spanish residence permits, not insuring employees, and even the bosses themselves have no legal status, which makes China stores a thorn in the side of Spanish tax authorities and labor departments. Since all officials are like this, the western media even began to spread anti-China remarks and discredit China for no reason. Moreover, because some Chinese shops in Spain also open on Sundays, which is considered by the local people as a violation of local business rules, local people, especially local self-employed bosses, are also quite critical of Chinese bosses. Besides, Spain used to be influenced by American-led western thoughts, so the Spanish media will follow the American media to discredit China, so their people often think that China has various shortcomings. /zd/ym
