What's up with the crazy nationalism in so many chinese novels as opposed to RI?

Is it the censorship, culture in China, or both? The amount of novels where the "chinese military" is somehow something to be feared when MC is literally a god is crazy to me.

Not to mention, the whole shtick of "evil foreigners" where anything non-chinese is evil. The way they make their stories, you'd think foreigners are these otherwordly demons set on destroying the chinese.

Like bro...who's even thinking about china like that? People are too busy worrying about their lives for the most part. Even if it was the end of the world, you think the first thought on someone's mind is "you dirty chinese!" like wtf even is that?

I think at this point, the only chinese novels I'm going to read are the banned ones.
