From my experience (Working in a Vets office) the Chinese Sharpei is no more fierce than any other breed.
Much of a dogs disposition is due to the way it is raised and treated.
The AKC has detailed information on all dog breeds. Check it out at the link below.

Are sharpei's fighting dogs?
Shar-peis are not considered amongst the most intelligent dogs (please see below in Related Links for more information). However, they are not unintelligent, and the margin between the ends of the spectrum is not wide. Shar-peis are one of the 14 ancient breeds. Through breeding for protection, hunting, and fighting, Shar-peis have a very distinct personality, and are typically considered amongst the most difficult to train. They very often exhibit stubbornness, aloofness, and autonomous behavior - though they are very loving and highly protective of their perceived "pack" (that is, the person or persons who care for them). They are often cited as "one-owner-dogs", which means that even with only a couple raising them, they will still show strong preference for only one of the two caretakers. If you are considering adopting or buying a Shar-pei, please be aware, these are widely regarded as very difficult dogs to raise, and are very strongly discouraged to first-time or novice dog owners/trainers.
How often can you bath a shiba inu?
Unlike some other breeds of dog, Shar-peis very often have a distinct dislike of water (no matter how clean). When walking a Shar-pei, one will likely notice the dog will actively avoid even the smallest of puddles, as well as mud, and they may be reluctant to go out in rain or snow. Part of this is a result of the Shar-peis wiring- they are highly cleanly dogs. Western Shar-peis (most Shar-peis in North America were introduced in the 1970s by way of Hong Kong and very poorly bred) are predisposed to many health problems, including several skin conditions, and as such, bathing the Shar-pei must be done at intervals sufficient to keep the dog clean but not to irritate their sensitive skin/fur. This can typically be done less frequently than other breeds.
Do shar Pei have black tongues?
Like a few of the ancient breeds (including their relatives, Chow Chows), Shar-peis have black mouths. As with Chow Chows, it was believed in ancient times that the dark mouth, exposed when barking, helped to ward off evil spirits.
