That's when you try to put things into perspective with a proper frame of reference, in this case by realizing just how many Chinese are actually there, and how many are actually committing these criminal acts.
Would you condemn all of Egypt and Libya for their recent attacks on the US Embassy? or all of Palestine for the action of Hamas? or all Muslims based on the action of the radical terrorists?
You have to realize that once you start going down the path of using broad strokes of generalization, you'll simply turn yourself into a bigot in the end.
