In China, there is a term called 殖人 (Zhi Ren), which literally means folks with an affinity for being colonized by the West/white men. These people believe that the only way for China to modernize is to firstly being colonized (ideally by an Anglo Saxon nation, but France and Germany work, too) for at least a generation. Once the entire generation of colonized Chinese were brought up under the Judeo-Christian way of thinking, they would then either rebel or peacefully secure self-determination from their western masters in similar fashion like countries that went through de-colonization in the 1950s. They do not see the brutality of colonialism in Africa, but only the "gallantry" English gentlemen and businessmen in Hong Kong, Singapore, and upper-class India. These Zhi Rens also believe white supremacism and unregulated capitalism are lesser evils compared to communism and collectivism. In fact, some believe that white supremacism in a cultural sense would be the necessary evil in order to make China "civilized".
Interestingly, contemporary Zhi Ren from the PRC emerged after the 1970s, especially among folks who have either suffered during the Cultural Revolution or studied Western literatures and political science during the 1980s (or both). Typical social-political perspectives among Zhi Ren include (but not limited to) unconditional support US/NATO military interventions anywhere and everywhere, believe that China should fully open its capital and commercial goods to western MNCs, the CCP's original sins (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, Tiananmen) are so great that no amount of political/economic reforms could remake the Party a legitimate ruler, the idea that Chinese men (especially those from the countryside) are naturally inferior to western men (so all Chinese women should marry western men to breed "civilized" babies), etc.
There are indeed many Zhi Rens, especially among the middle and upper class (but not the CPC bureaucratic or SOE elites) in Beijing and Shanghai, not to mention Hong Kong.
