The Chinese: the Jews of the Orient?

I’ve heard anecdotes over the years that portray the Chinese people as sneaky and shifty. Sort of like…Jews.
With that in mind:
From http://www.heretical.com/main.html#directory :
Chinese morality
“Apparently the general attitude in China is ‘If you can get away with it, it’s okay.’ In this philosophy, if someone is sold a fake expensive watch say, and the buyer is convinced he owns a genuine expensive watch, no harm is done. I suppose many people don’t know this, but the Chinese have traditionally been called the “Jews of the Orient” or “Jews of the East.” Plus, saving face seems to be the dominant concern.”
