I'm watching #55DaysInPeking (again) after a long hiatus & it's just as annoying now as when I 1st watched it.

While it has it's moments, it's reflective of the patronizing & racist way in which the #US film industry has depicted China & the Chinese people for nearly 100 years.

It was a blockbuster movie when it was released in 1963 & stars #CharlestonHeston, #AvaGardner & #DavidNiven & is set during the #BoxerRebellion in China during 1899-1901 which was a grass roots attempt to oust foreign "invaders" from China.

While it failed, the Boxer Rebellion is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Manchu (Ching) Dynasty & the formation of the Kuomingtang (Chinese Nationalist Party) that later fell to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which then led to the formation of the #RepublicOfChina in Taiwan, which (of course) the CCP does NOT recognize & is just waiting to invade & retake in the name of China.

Worth watching in an historical film context but not otherwise.

Huh, I think the PRC has been overreacting to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's remarks on the ROC or Taiwan.
