Abstract: Canada's 1885 Royal Commission on Chinese Immigration did not end well for the Chinese. It resulted in four Chinese Immigration Acts. The last one was the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act. Before the CPR (1885) and before Confederation (1867), Western thought was shaped by the racist justification to plunder China through a colonial dominating psychology, known as the "Yellow Peril." Through Opium Wars, military occupations and unequal treaties, European supremacy over China felt complete. This White superiority grievously affected Chinese peasants who migrated to Canada to escape poverty. Today, China has risen from the "century of humiliation" to challenge the West for a place in the global economy and yet cannot escape Sinophobia. Anti-Asian/Chinese hate has provoked "Yellow Peril 2.0." In 2023, there are demands for a public inquiry on Chinese interference and influence, and a foreign agent registry. There is a direct connection between current events to those of a hundred years ago. Résumé: La commission royale canadienne de 1885 sur l'immigration chinoise ne s'est pas bien terminée pour les Chinois. Elle a abouti sur quatre lois sur l'immigration chinoise. La dernière en date est la loi d'exclusion des Chinois de 1923. Avant la création de la Commission royale (1885) et avant la Confédération (1867), la pensée occidentale était façonnée par la justification raciste du pillage de la Chine par une psychologie coloniale dominatrice, connue sous le nom de "péril jaune". Grâce aux guerres de l'opium, aux occupations militaires et aux traités inégaux, la suprématie européenne sur la Chine semblait accomplie. Cette supériorité blanche a eu de graves répercussions sur les paysans chinois qui ont émigré au Canada pour échapper à la pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, la Chine s'est relevée du "siècle de l'humiliation" et défie l'Occident pour se faire une place dans l'économie mondiale, mais elle n'échappe pas à la sinophobie. La haine anti-asiatique/chinoise a provoqué le "péril jaune 2.0". En 2023, on demande une enquête publique sur l'ingérence et l'influence de la Chine, ainsi qu'un registre des agents étrangers. Il existe un lien direct entre les événements actuels et ceux d'il y a cent ans.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
