You may not have heard of the term before, but this can be related to the White crisis of identity. It suggests that Whiteness is in crisis because of a lack of any clear or positive set of identifying characteristics. What is meant by non-positive is that the only understandable way of identifying Whiteness is as a race to which all other races are compared. This is a huge problem for all non-White races, socially, politically, culturally, and in the name of human rights. But the stumbling block for all parties is this very notion that we don't really know what Whiteness is. It isn't a state of being, it is a state of non-being. The Chinese in this case didn't want to be a part of that because that isn't their experience.
