Taking the"classic"Chinese screen image in Hollywood films—Fu Manchu—as the research object,this study points out that the"Yellow Peril"has gradually evolved into a"complete"anti-China ideology supported by racism,colonialism,and imperialism,which is born with prominent American and international features.The birth of Fu Manchu is a result of the abuse of the"Yellow Peril",and he has become a symbol of the"other"identity imposed by the West on Chinese culture,an alien civilization for the West.And it has evolved over time into the"Red Peril"and"China Threat Theory".Essentially,the U.S.propagates the"China Threat Theory"to divert its domestic contradictions and strengthen national identity.And it also results from the sinister intention to isolate and contain China,the wary stance towards different civilizations,and the persistent belief that"Confucian civilization is the natural adversary of Western civilization".
