Since I’m an “-ist” and “-ism” person who also likes the dictionary, from Miriam Webster:

Xenophobia is the fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners, whereas racism has a broader meaning set including "a belief that racial differences produce the inherent superiority of a particular race." Although they are similar, they are different enough that it is possible for one to be both xenophobic and racist.

So, yes, I do understand that China is not a race.
