This paper examines the Chinese Newspaper Shenbao’s coverage of the 1931 anti-Chinese riots in Colonial Korea, which happened immediately after the Wanbaoshan Incident in the same year. Shenbao, renowned for its influential role in late Qing and Republican media, facilitated discussions and debates over social and political issues such as reforms of various institutions, national defense and development, and Japanese Imperialist expansion among its broad readership. During the attacks on Overseas Chinese, Shenbao covered the event in great detail by delving into a series of episodes and reconstructing the voices of the people who had actually been on the ground and witnessed the calamity and its aftermath. In so doing, what is worth noting is that a wealth of sources was employed in its representation of the Korean perpetrators. As if letting the readers to judge for themselves what kind of people the Koreans were or solve together the so-called “Korean Question,” Koreans were, as a result, described as fierce, brutal, vicious, opportunistic yet credulous and malleable people. Shenbao, of course, did not intend to tolerate or condone any brutality committed against the Chinese residents in Korea, but the Chinese affected by the riots become victims of an offense with no “offenders.” Although the rioters were Koreans, they were constructed into legal incompetent-like people who could not be held accountable for their actions by Shenbao’s multiple news articles. Hence, it is probable that such a representation of the Korean perpetrators had contributed to convincing the Chinese to refrain from taking retaliatory and violent measures against the Korean residents in Republican China throughout the 1930s.
