如果我作为游客经过中国农村，会面临歧视吗？我是美国人，且有一半印度血统。我听说过中印边境冲突，但不确定是否因此存在种族敌意

Gilbert K
Nope.
No one cares about the border clashes. They happened in this extremely remote, inhospitable area where nobody lives, and nobody goes except for the soldiers themselves. (The place is very mountainous; very cold; very high altitude; very undeveloped; and just naturally very dangerous).
Probably 99.999% of the 1.4 billion people in China cannot remember the name of that place, if they ever knew it at all.
 
不，没人关心边境冲突。那些冲突发生在一个极其偏远、恶劣的地区，那里没人住，除了士兵自己，没人会去。（那个地方地势非常崎岖，高寒，高海拔，发展非常落后，自然非常危险）。大概99.999%的14亿中国人都记不住那个地方的名字，即使他们曾经知道的话。
 
(The place is called Galwan Valley, in case you’re interested).
 
（如果您感兴趣的话，这个地方叫做加勒万河谷）。
 
Another fun fact for you - the total number of casualties in the Galwan Valley clash was less than one Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting in the USA.
 
另一个有趣的事实是——加尔万谷冲突的总伤亡人数还不到美国桑迪胡克小学枪击事件的伤亡人数。

You did specify rural China. My experience with people in rural areas in countries where I have travelled has been the opposite. They are more helpful, polite, and considerate.
As other answers have said, be polite and considerate, and you are unlikely to go wrong.
 
你确实提到过是中国的农村。我在旅行过的国家的农村地区与人们的接触经验正好相反。他们更乐于助人、有礼貌且体贴。
正如其他回答所说的，保持礼貌和体贴，你应该不会出错。
 
Your question brought to mind an incident at Shanghai Pudong airport last week when I visited China.
An American tourist, I could tell from his accent and his passport, was having difficulty at the immigration counter. He looked like a first-time visitor and was having trouble with his immigration form, and left parts unfilled.
The immigration officer, who spoke some English, was patient and helpful. And while it held up the queue a little, the visitor was soon on his way.
 
你的问题让我想起了上周我在上海浦东机场的一次经历。
一位美国游客，我从他的口音和护照上看出来，正在移民柜台遇到困难。他看起来是第一次来中国，填移民表格时有些问题，部分内容没填完整。移民官员会一些英语，非常耐心且乐于助人。虽然耽误了一些排队时间，但游客很快就顺利通过了。
 
Many years ago, I witnessed a similar situation at the Los Angeles International Airport. A trio of elderly Chinese in front of me were having problems at Border Control (US border agents are armed by the way; why?). The agent was angry, impatient, and rude. Why? Because the Chinese visitors did not speak English. She did not talk to them; she shouted at them. She finished by telling them to step aside while she dealt with an easier arrival.
After I had been processed, I turned around and the three Chinese travellers were still standing there in a huddle, waiting.
 
许多年前，我在洛杉矶国际机场目睹了类似的情况。站在我前面的三位年长的中国人，在边境控制时遇到了问题（顺便说一下，美国的边境警察是武装的；为什么？）。那位边境警察很生气、不耐烦且粗鲁。为什么？因为这些中国游客不会说英语。她没有和他们交流，而是对着他们大喊大叫。最后她告诉他们站到一边，去处理一个更简单的入境。
我处理完后转身看，那三位中国游客仍然站在那里，聚在一起等候。
 
This was not an isolated incident. The only places where I have encountered “nice” US border control agents were Honolulu and Boston. New York’s Border Control agents are as rude and their TSA employees are worse.
In China, most signs are in Chinese and English. Public announcements in the metro, trains, at airports and train stations are often in English. It is similar in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.
 
这不是个别事件。我遇到的“友好”的美国边境控制员，只有在檀香山和波士顿。在纽约，边境控制员很粗鲁，机场安检员更糟。
在中国，大多数标志都有中文和英文。地铁、火车、机场和火车站的公共广播通常也有英文。这和新加坡、马来西亚、泰国、香港（特区）、台湾（地区）、日本和韩国类似。

China is quite safe, and the common people are not as irrational as those in India.
In generalization, IMHO, there is more hatred by Indians against Chinese than the other way around. Remember, China and India have peacefully co-existed for centuries, before the rabble-rousting, shit-stirring Brits came around. The border clashes are a result of the British border maps.
 
中国相当安全，普通百姓不像印度那样不理智。
总的来说，我认为，印度人对中国的仇恨比中国人对印度的仇恨要多。记住，中国和印度在英国人来之前，已经和平共处了几个世纪。边境冲突是英国边界地图的结果。

Indian leaders are elected through western style “democracy”, hence the usefulness of a boogeyman.
China, Pakistan serves as suitable boogeyman at opportune time.
 
印度的领导人是通过西方式的“民主”选举产生的，因此需要一个妖魔化的对手。
而中国，巴基斯坦就充当了在适当时候的妖魔。
 
Bill Chen
No. But rural China is not set up to welcome foreigners yet. Plan your trip, especially accomodations.
Just follow the same lonely planet rules of travel and personal security. China is generally safe but depending on where you go, there can be significant difference in attitudes, especially towards different genders.
Respect everyone and don't be flashy.
 
不。但中国的农村尚未做好迎接外国游客的准备。规划好你的旅行，特别是住宿。
只要遵循《孤独星球》的旅行和个人安全规则。中国总体上是安全的，但根据你去的地方，态度可能有很大差异，尤其是对不同性别的态度。
尊重每个人，不要显得太招摇。
 
Feng Lu
As long as you are polite and don't break the law, you will receive the same polite response.
Think about it: the Sino-Indian conflict is far less serious than the Sino-Japanese War; polite Japanese people received the same polite treatment.
Don't bring the ideas of India's caste system to China.
Not long ago, two Indian Brahmins went to a Chinese bar and demanded that the Chinese waitstaff treat them the way people of lower castes treat Brahmins—specifically, holding the wine above their heads before serving it to them. As a result, they were kicked out of the bar.
 
只要你礼貌且不违法，你会收到同样礼貌的回应。
想想看：中印冲突远不如中日战争严重；礼貌的日本人也得到了同样礼貌的对待。
不要把印度的种姓制度带到中国。
不久前，两个印度婆罗门去了一个中国酒吧，要求酒吧服务员像低种姓的人一样低着头对他们进行服务——特别是在上酒之前，还得把酒杯举过头顶才行。结果，他们被赶出了酒吧。

This kind of thing wouldn't make the news, but it was exposed on the bar's social media.

in Malaysia we have a few Indian customer meet 1–2 very good people one, the rest 50 people are very demanding & cheat our things after buy & demand refund most of it, its really a headaches.
we’re trying & keep trusting they’re not all of that bad but most of it makes them destroyed their good name, we stop trying & doesn’t want selling anything specially to them, along with Filipino customer specially that foreign spouses one.
 
在马来西亚，我们有一些印度客户，其中一两个非常好，但其余50个客户都非常苛刻，购买后会欺骗我们并要求退款，这真是令人头疼。
我们一直在尝试，也一直相信他们并非都那么糟糕，但大多数人的行为损害了他们的声誉。我们不再尝试了，也不想再向他们出售任何东西，包括菲律宾客户，特别是那些外籍配偶。

Some human race doesn’t teach their kids well & become too late to realising when adult coming.
We’re not hating them thou, still buying & eat indian food once a while, its just this idea selling or do businesses with them i think is a NO
 
有些人没有好好教育他们的孩子，等到成年人时才意识到已经太晚了。
我们并不讨厌他们，偶尔还是会买并吃印度菜，只是我觉得跟他们做生意或销售产品是绝对不行的。

In China's international trade:
For German customers, production can begin with a 30% deposit;
for American customers, production can begin with a 50% deposit;
for Indian customers, production can begin only after 100% payment is received.
 
在中国的国际贸易中：
对于德国客户，生产可以在支付30%定金后开始；
对于美国客户，生产可以在支付50%定金后开始；
对于印度客户，只有在收到100%付款后，生产才能开始。

why so far different like that? For indian
Seriously why
 
为什么差异这么大？为什么对印度客户是这样的？
真的为什么？
 
Feng Lu
In trade with India, there have been numerous cases like this:
Indian customer A places an order with you for a custom-made product, costing $8, with a selling price of $10 per unit, for a total of 10,000 units.
After receiving 30% of the payment, you begin production. Once production is complete, A cancels the order. Because it's a custom-made product, you can't sell it to anyone else. You're left staring at the inventory in your warehouse.
Three months later, Indian customer B appears, saying he needs the product but demands a unit price of $3. You have no choice but to sell it to him at that price to minimize your losses.
In reality, A and B are partners. Ultimately, they acquire the product for $6, while you lose $2.
 
与印度的贸易中，类似的情况有很多：
印度客户A向你下订单，定制一款产品，成本是8美元，单价是10美元，总数量是10,000个。
收到30%的定金后，你开始生产。生产完成后，A取消了订单。由于是定制产品，你不能卖给别人。你只能无奈地看着仓库里的库存。
三个月后，印度客户B出现，说他需要这款产品，但要求单价为3美元。为了尽量减少损失，你别无选择，只能以这个价格卖给他。
实际上，A和B是合作伙伴。最终，他们以6美元的价格拿到产品，而你损失了2美元。
 
JP Ee
You are right. Generally I will ask for confirmed ILC. So even if they cheat, they are no able to cancel the order as long as you ship within the timefrx and negotiate the ILC with the local banker. Note I usually ask my banker to confirm the ILC although it costs money too - however I will normally add the cost of confirmation into my selling price.
 
你说得对。通常我会要求确认的信用证（ILC）。即使他们作弊，只要你在规定的时间内发货并与当地银行协商好信用证，他们就不能取消订单。请注意，我通常会要求我的银行确认信用证，尽管这也需要费用——但我通常会把确认费用加入到我的售价中。

To be polite, they're not trustworthy. To be frank, they're scoundrels.
 
为了礼貌，他们不可信。坦率地说，他们是无赖。

Unlike the average Indian, the average Chinese knows very little of India and Indians. How you are treated depends very much on yourself. Nobody cares whether you are a Brahmin or a Dalit.
I am from Singapore where we have many different races. Recent Indian immigrants have created resentment not only from non Indians but even more so from people of Indian origin. I understand that this is because of arrogance and castist attitude from the new immigrants towards the local Indians who are mostly of lower caste and economic backgrounds.
 
与普通的印度人不同，普通的中国人对印度和印度人了解甚少。你被如何对待，很大程度上取决于你自己。没人关心你是婆罗门还是达利特。
我来自新加坡，我们这里有许多不同的种族。最近的印度移民不仅在非印度人中引发了怨恨，甚至在印度裔人中也产生了更多的反感。我理解这是因为新移民对当地印度人的傲慢和种姓歧视态度，而这些当地印度人大多属于低种姓和经济背景较差的群体。

No, you will be stared at as an oddity - there are relatively few non-Chinese in China and more or less none in rural areas. (I lived in China with my family for 8 years 2012–2020)
 
不，你会被当作异类来看——在中国，非华人相对较少，尤其是在乡村地区几乎没有。（我曾和家人一起在中国生活了8年，从2012年到2020年）
 
 Weychin Chua
I hope it didn't make you uncomfortable!
Being Chinese I will never have your experience in China!
Closest I can approximate are the staring squads in Vietnam decades ago.
The children will just stare at you, as they have never seen a plus size person, as Vietnamese in general are built much smaller.
They just stand there and stare .
The friendliest are malay children in southern part of rural Malaysia, they will wave at you as you cycles past them.
 
希望这没有让你感到不舒服！
作为中国人，我永远无法体验你在中国的经历！
我能感同身受的最接近的经历是几十年前在越南的凝视队。
孩子们只是盯着你看，因为他们从没见过体型较大的外国人，因为越南人普遍体型较小。
他们只是站在那里盯着你看。
最友好的则是马来西亚南部乡村的马来孩子们，他们会在你骑车经过时挥手打招呼。
