The Yellow Peril: Dr Fu Manchu & The Rise of Chinaphobia is a 2014 non-fiction book by the British educator and writer, Christopher Frayling.[1]

The book examines West’s attitude towards Chinese people over several hundred years. It uses examples such as the popularity of Sax Rohmer's series of Fu Manchu novels, and the films based on them.

A review of the book in The Guardian notes in a sub-heading how "scaremongering clichés about the Chinese have prevailed from Dickens to the present day".
