The term "barbarian" historically referred to people considered uncivilized or primitive by those who viewed themselves as more advanced. In contemporary discourse, labeling any group as "barbaric" is often seen as an oversimplification or a reflection of cultural bias. Europeans, like all societies, have a complex history with both periods of enlightenment and instances of violence and oppression. It's essential to approach such questions with nuance and an understanding of historical context.

Europeans had to bow down to the Chinese when they wanted to trade with the Chinese. The Chinese however did not abuse their power on the Europeans because the Chinese saw themselves as the "Middle Kingdom" and believed that all other nations and people in the world will eventually adopt the Chinese ways. The Chinese don't shove their culture down other people's throats. I would say that the Chinese thinking was arrogance and vanity at its best.Source: Prelude to Opium War Qing DynastyThe Chinese thought that the Europeans were barbarians
