The Yellow Peril is an "oriental" criminal and/or political mastermind, a character originating in the xenophobic days of the late 19th century, but popular ever since.
As an expression of the "mysterious East" gone wrong, this villain traditionally had, or seemed to have, mystical powers. Often he had a beautiful daughter, who either turned from her evil ways to work with the good guys, or was herself a scheming villain, at least as bad as he, in her own right. He would likely know some form of martial arts, and sometimes speak in a thick and oddly-accented dialect.
In some cases, the Yellow Peril might be an ancient civilization composed of wise and intelligent but hubristically ambitious people (basically real-life versions of Elves) who will use their "wisdom" to outplan and outmaneuver you every time. In others, the Yellow Peril may be an evil horde making up in raw numbers what they lack in power (this stereotype came from medieval portrayals of the Mongolian empire). He will often be garbed in clothing you'd expect to find in Qing-dynasty China.
However, not all examples are necessarily Chinese nationals; on the contrary, many (including the Trope Codifier Fu Manchu himself) are the leaders of Pan-Asiatic coalitions, uniting Chinese, Indians, Japanese and various others against "Western Imperialism" and its alleged or real exploitation of Asia. Such portrayals may be inspired by the real-life Pan-Asian ideology of the Japanese in World War II, who claimed to be fighting against globalist capitalism and for the liberation of the Asian peoples (most of whom were still colonized by Europe note or the United States in the case of the Philippines in 1941) — although more crudely racist depictions may also simply be a case of thinking all Asians are the same (as well as bad).
The "mysterious Chinaman" grew to be such a cliché in mystery stories of the early twentieth century that in 1929 Ronald Knox included in his "Ten Commandments" the rule that "No Chinaman must figure in the story." Early story attempts to counter the connotations of such a villain often had an Asian hero included who is dedicated to stopping the villain, such as with the various incarnations of Marvel Comics which had Jimmy Woo in the Yellow Claw stories in the 1950s, while Fu Manchu was opposed by his son Shang-Chi, the Master of Kung Fu, in the 1970s.
In what was presumably an attempt to avoid accusations of falling into this trope's racist and xenophobic roots, several 80s and 90s Animated Adaptations of properties with Yellow Peril villains colored them green. Mandarin in Iron Man: The Animated Series, Dr No in James Bond Jr., and Ming the Merciless in both Defenders of the Earth and the 1996 Flash Gordon series are examples of this.
One may think this was now a Discredited Trope, but in fact it is alive and well, although the individual "yellow" villain is often replaced by Triads, Yakuza, Chinese Communism, or sinister Asian businessmen.
In the UK, this trope drew inspiration from the Opium Wars, the Boxer Rebellion, and the presence of Chinese workers (especially sailors and launderers) in port cities like Victorian London. Across the pond in the US, this trope also drew inspiration from Chinese immigration—specifically, the mass migration of thousands of Chinese laborers in the nineteenth century. This large movement led many Americans to mistakenly think of Chinese people (and by extension, all Asians) as mysterious and expansionist. The fact that the workers weren't allowed to integrate with whites and often couldn't speak English didn't help matters. It later turned out that it was Japan that was expansionist, and horrifically brutal doing so—China was in no shape for world domination at that point—but hindsight is 20/20. (Of course, in response to the new threat of Imperial Japan, the media promptly switched this trope around and started portraying "the Japs" as the new Yellow Peril, only to switch back to China during The '50s.)
Nonetheless, in many instances of the trope, such a villain is treated more sympathetically than a villain of Western origin, along the lines of an Enlightened Antagonist. The reason is that, while "Western" villains are usually depicted as having rejected the moral values of their culture in favor of baser instincts like greed and lust (and, therefore, as more simplistic and unambigously evil), the seeming "villainy" of these characters may be just due to the fact that they come from a foreign culture with a different understanding of the world (based more on spirituality than on science and logic), and, therefore, a different concept of right and wrong. Sometimes it may even turn out that their idea of good and evil is more sound than the one of the Western protagonist, and the protagonist was on the Wrong Side All Along.
See also: Inscrutable Oriental, Dragon Lady, Japan Takes Over the World, China Takes Over the World, and another product of these stereotypes, Mighty Whitey and Mellow Yellow. For the Web Comic of the same name, see Yellow Peril.
Absolutely nothing to do with the Only Fools and Horses episode of that name.

The Magic Pudding: Curry and Rice — beyond his atrocious name, he's a Fat Bastard of a Villainous Glutton who uses strange magical powers to create an infinitely renewable pastry and then hoards it to himself while watching his fellow shipwreck strandees slowly starving to death. About the only way he's not a racist icon is his art, and that's because all of the humans portrayed in the illustrations are bizarre-looking caricatures.

Memnan Saa from the Hellboy universe (the B.P.R.D. and Lobster Johnson comics). Though as it turns out, his origins predate China, and stretch back to the ancient Hyperborean civilization of the North Pole. Not only that, but the reason he resembles the classic British actor dressed in ridiculous Oriental robes look is because he's actually a Victorian-era British occultist named Martin Gilfryd.

The episode "Last Horizons" of TaleSpin has Baloo encountering "Panda-La" a land of Asian stereotypical Panda bears who are secretly planning to invade Cape Suzette, although it is mentioned in passing that other Panda populations despise them for their aggression. The episode was so heavily criticized because of its depiction of Asians that it was taken out of syndication.

The first of Edgar P. Jacobs' Blake and Mortimer stories, Secret of the Swordfish, pits the heroes against the world-conquering, Asian-supremacist "Yellow Empire" (in the original french-language version, the Empire was specifically and explicitely... Tibet). However, the trope is subverted, as the primary villain in the story is the white Colonel Olrik and the Big Bad, Emperor Basam Damdu, is less mysterious Oriental, and more Hitler-esque, megalomaniac madman.

Chairman Shen-Ji Yang of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a Yellow Peril on an alien planet. He is one of the most sinister of the faction leaders (though some of the others are no slouches themselves), and regards his entire population as nothing more than a grand social experiment. Doesn't help that his faction is one of the most powerful in the game...
Of course, factions in the game are based on ideology rather than racial makeup. The Hive are likely to be just as ethnically diverse as any other faction.

Batman Begins changes Ra's al Ghul from his comic book portrayal. Some of the Yellow Peril aspects are played more straight this time (his headquarters are in China this time, and Ra's is Chinese or Japanese) while others are messed with (he and his followers lack supernatural powers, but use tricks to make enemies think they do, and he's actually a white man with an Asian decoy).

The evil Mongol Shiwan Khan in The Shadow movie is a magical overlord who claims to be the last direct descendant of Genghis Khan—a bit of an unlikely story given just how many descendants Genghis Khan is believed to have.note A rough estimate puts it at 35 million men. It's impossible to know how many women are descended from him, but you can probably just double the male estimate.

Chin-Kee from American Born Chinese is an embodiment of every negative Asian stereotype, all of which are employed for satirical purposes.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings then introduces an actually-Chinese version of the Mandarin (played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai) that's Truer to the Text than Kingsley's, but with care taken to discard offensive aspects — for instance, he doesn't use the "Mandarin" title himself and points out its misuse; and instead of being a Chinese villain fighting a white American, he's now going up against equally-Chinese heroes, who also serve to humanize him as two of them are his children. The director, writer, and leading cast of the movie are all Asian or of Asian descent. Leung's character also mocks the Iron Man 3 version, seemingly both annoyed at the cultural misappropriation and amused that it scared the Americans anyway.

Whateley Universe:
The Chinese supervillain Iron Dragon, who has been trying to overthrow America, Europe, and Russia for decades, is essentially an Expy of Fu Manchu, right down to the moustache. His daughter, Silver Serpent, is now attending the Whateley Academy and is a member of the Bad Seeds clique (to be admitted, one or more of your parents must be a supervillain). In early 2012, Iron Dragon staged a coup that overthrew the People's Republic, declaring himself to hold the Mandate of Heaven as the first emperor of a new Imperial dynasty.
According to Unreliable Narrator (and one-man Deconstructor Fleet) Mephisto, while playing the part of a 'sinister Asiatic mastermind' in San Francisco in the 1930s, Mephisto had run afoul of a real sinister Asiatic mastermind; knowing when he was beaten, Mephisto sold his operation to him and got as far away as he could. He went on to explain that there were dozens of such masterminds running their own operations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most of whom were heading remnants of the Tongs and Triads and were looking for revenge against the West for the indignities the Han had suffered at the hands of the colonial powers. By the time of World War II, most of them had fallen to in-fighting or butting heads with other organized crime groups like The Mafia. The Iron Dragon, kept alive by magic, was one of the more ruthless and effective of those remaining, and by the 1980s had co-opted or enlisted most of the others that were still around.

Pearl Harbor generally averts this trope, portraying the Japanese for the most part in non-stereotyped ways. However, the Japanese are nonetheless overly vilified; in one scene Zeros attack a hospital and open fire on civilians, even though the Japanese made an effort not to harm civilians during the actual raid, and did not fire at civilian targets even when they had a clear shot.

Admiral Hamura Kusaki from Adventures of Captain Vrungel is a member of the Japanese Imperial Navy and the Big Bad, who makes it his personal mission to pursue the protagonists around the world and cause trouble for them on their global voyage, but while he's the only prominent POC in the story and the prose sometimes describes his skin color as yellow, he otherwise doesn't fall into many of the common stereotypes seen in a work written in the 30's. He has no grand ambitions other than to oversee the extinction of all whales and to make life hell for the protagonists over something minor (saving a whale), he has no special abilities, he's not a criminal mastermind - on the contrary, all of his schemes to get back at Vrungel blow up in his face out of his own stupidity. When reflecting on Kusaki years later, Vrungel considers him merely a product of the imperialist culture in Japan during that time, and he holds a similar disdain for Banditto, the Italian fascist and one-off antagonist.

Iron Man 3 both averts this and cleverly exploits this. The Mandarin is an Wicked Cultured Diabolical Mastermind, played by the British-Indian actor Ben Kingsley, who does follow some classical Chinese philosophy. Except he's not. Kingsley's character is a washed-up actor named Trevor Slattery who is being paid by Dr. Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce — a white dude) to be the front for his operations in exchange for a cushy life. Killian deliberately mashed up a number of foreign stereotypes in order to sell an anti-American boogeyman to the media. The follow-up short film All Hail the King then reveals that they (mis)appropriated the story of an actual foreign warlord, who isn't happy with the theft and intends to kill Slattery for it.

Zhu Long in Sentinels of the Multiverse is an intentional reference to this, having originated early in Sentinel Comics's history: an immortal Chinese mastermind who employs ninjas and turns into a dragon. He was primarily a villain for Blaxploitation kung fu hero Black Fist, now Mr Fixer. CCG Importance Dissonance means that despite his significant story influence, all he gets is an environment deck and a guest spot as a minion card.

Ming the Merciless from the 1934 Flash Gordon comic strip was written and drawn as Fu Manchu IN SPACE!, right down to the scheming daughter. (He's not named "Ming" by accident.) The early serials and Filmation animated version continued this portrayal. The 1980 movie cast Max von Sydow, a Swedish actor, in the role, and the 2007 TV series dropped 'the Merciless' from his name and turned him into a blond guy, while in the 1990s comic book mini-series, he and his people have natural ash-gray skin coloring, and in the animated series Defenders of the Earth, his skin is green.

Detective Comics, now known as the home of Batman, started out as an anthology title whose first issue featured a story about a private eye fighting cartoonishly-drawn oriental villains, whose leader smirked at the reader from the front cover. In 2017, Gene Luen Yang's New Super-Man incorporated a deconstruction of that story into its backstory, depicting the Chinese antagonists more sympathetically than the prejudiced white detective.

Inspector Gadget's nemesis Dr. Claw tried to team up with a Yellow Peril villain on two separate occasions. First, in "The Japanese Connection," Claw met with the "Great Samurai Waruda" who literally wore samurai armour. In "Eye of the Dragon," Claw met with the nefarious Mr. Chow from Hong Kong, who tended to speak largely in metaphors, as did a lot of the Chinese characters in that episode.

The later Iron Man: Armored Adventures animated series also largely averts this with its portrayal of the two characters who use the Mandarin identity: Shin Zhang is treated as a fairly typical criminal mastermind whose Asian-ness is incidental to his evil, while his stepson Gene Khan is both a major Anti-Villain and, while he certainly takes pride in his heritage from China in general and his family line in particular, he's otherwise very modern and western in his mannerisms and outlook.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken pains to avert this trope in their adaptations of the comic book supervillain the Mandarin.
Iron Man 3 both averts this and cleverly exploits this. The Mandarin is an Wicked Cultured Diabolical Mastermind, played by the British-Indian actor Ben Kingsley, who does follow some classical Chinese philosophy. Except he's not. Kingsley's character is a washed-up actor named Trevor Slattery who is being paid by Dr. Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce — a white dude) to be the front for his operations in exchange for a cushy life.

The follow-up short film All Hail the King then reveals that they (mis)appropriated the story of an actual foreign warlord, who isn't happy with the theft and intends to kill Slattery for it.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings then introduces an actually-Chinese version of the Mandarin (played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai) that's Truer to the Text than Kingsley's, but with care taken to discard offensive aspects — for instance, he doesn't use the "Mandarin" title himself and points out its misuse; and instead of being a Chinese villain fighting a white American, he's now going up against equally-Chinese heroes, who also serve to humanize him as two of them are his children. The director, writer, and leading cast of the movie are all Asian or of Asian descent. Leung's character also mocks the Iron Man 3 version, seemingly both annoyed at the cultural misappropriation and amused that it scared the Americans anyway.

An Iron Man storyline in the 1980s saw the Yellow Claw fight the Mandarin, in an epic clash of yellow peril stereotypes! Specifically, Yellow Claw represented the pre-World War II stereotype of Asians as devious and inscrutable, and The Mandarin represented the post-World War II stereotype of Asians as reckless bloodthirsty barbarians.

Shang Tsung. Though the protagonist Liu Kang is also Asian (Chinese, specifically.)
Any villain played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa will have this flavor.
Kano was originally supposed to be a Japanese crime boss. However, in Mortal Kombat: The Movie, he was played by Trevor Goddard, and the developers liked it so much that later games retconned him to being an Australian crime boss.

Prince Ko-Fan Shiemarr from The Five Star Stories, despite being a character in a Space Opera manga set A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away... is designed to mimic the aesthetic of Yellow Peril characters in western works. He is a bit of a subversion, though, since rather than being an out-and-out villain, he's more of a Psycho for Hire who works for the nominal protagonist.
...who is himself a very Japanese-flavored Physical God of Well-Intentioned Extremist.

Long Feng from Avatar: The Last Airbender fits the trope to a T, but every character in the series is either Asian or Inuit, including the heroes. Tarrlok from The Legend of Korra has all of the characteristics, except that he's from the Water Tribe.
These stereotypes are actually done in-universe in the second season. An actual war propaganda movie has Tarrlok 2.0, er, Unalaq, portrayed as your typical Fu Manchu/Ming the Merciless knockoff villain.

In the Legends of the Dark Knight story Tao, Batman encounters a number of Chinese villains, as well as a Chinese mentor. The villains include a wicked old wizard, H'sien Tan, his student, Dragon, who acts as The Dragon to his master as well as the Big Bad later, and looks just like the "Little Dragon", Bruce Lee. Most stereotypical of all is the boss of Gotham's Chinese underworld, Johnny Khan (Khan isn't even a Chinese name!). Khan isn't just a 'Yellow Peril' stereotype, he's Fu Manchu. And not just any Fu Manchu. He's clearly recognisable as Christopher Lee dressed as Fu Manchu.

Fu Manchu, of the original short story and novel series by Sax Rohmer and their many, many adaptations, is perhaps the classic example. From the same source, Fah Lo Suee embodies the "beautiful-but-at-least-as-evil-as-he" version of the evil mastermind's daughter. Though he is not the first example of Yellow Peril caricatures of Asians, his cultural influence and the host of imitators he spawned make him the Trope Codifier.

There was a villain named "Yellow Peri" in both the Superboy comic book and TV show, but she had nothing to do with the trope other than the name pun. (A "peri" is a type of Persian fairy, and "The Red Peri" was a space pirate in a 1935 Stanley G. Weinbaum story.)

Then again, since none of the factions in BattleTech are outright "good guys," the Combine and Confederation can just as easily be seen as sympathetic, defending themselves from aggressive and (especially in the Capellan Confederation's case) larger enemies. There are also any number of Asian characters staunchly in the "good guy" camp, such as Justin Xiang Allard and his son, Kai Allard-Liao. On a meta level, BattleTech started off taking its cues from any number of Anime Mecha series, so has a vested interest in not portraying its Asian factions as wholly evil.
It should also be pointed out that while House Liao is ruled by a family of Chinese descent, the original '80s portrayal of House Liao was one that was not of a monolithic Chinese ethno-state. The Capellan Confederation was much more a generic stand-in for Commie Land. It was only later on in the metaplot, with Sun-Tzu Liao's reign as Chancellor, that the state took on more Chinese trappings and flavor. And even then, the Confederation is a multi-ethnic state, as are all the Successor States.

In Snakes on a Plane the main antagonist is a brutal Asian gangster who beats a prosecutor to death with a baseball bat in the beginning of the movie. However, there is another Asian character in the film, a kickboxer, and he is portrayed as selfless and brave.

Unsurprisingly, The Face of Fu Manchu and its sequels, based on Sax Rohmer's characters and starring Christopher Lee in Yellow Face in the title role. The fifth and final installment The Castle of Fu Manchu was the victim subject of an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Daredevil had some in the first season. The second season was full of it with the introduction of the Hand. After receiving enough accusations of this trope, the MCU started taking corrective measures in Iron Fist and The Defenders with the introducion of the other "fingers" of the Hand from other continents of the world, led by a white North American, a black African and a brown South American, as well as Mooks from different ethnicities.

Klingons in the original series of Star Trek: The Original Series give every indication of being descended from this model. Before their retrofit for the movie era, Klingons were usually portrayed as a bunch of clever, deceitful criminals, played by white guys in vaguely "eastern" make-up, complete with Fu Manchu moustaches.

The Elder Scrolls, while set in a fantasy world, have this trope in effect in regards to the continent of Akavir. Akavir, per in-game sources, is a mishmash of Chinese (Ka Po' Tun), Japanese (Tsaesci), and less prominent Indian (Tang Mo) and Mongol (Kamal) Fantasy Counterpart Cultures. In the backstory, some of the Akaviri races have attempted to invade Tamriel (a continent with a heavy European basis and where all of the games to date in the series have taken place) several times, but have always been defeated. Because of the past invasions, the citizens have Tamriel have some very Yellow Peril inspired beliefs about Akavir.

The Tintin story The Blue Lotus averts this: the portrayal of China is famously sympathetic and accurate - though the trope is both discussed (Tintin describes to a Chinese friend the common Yellow Peril stereotype prevalent among westerners) and parodied (Thompson and Thomson dress up as the stereotype to go undercover, only to end up being followed by a throng of amused Chinese onlookers... without them noticing beyond a hunch). The Japanese invaders come across as evil and petty imperialists (with their leader having buck teeth), but, well, they sort of were. Coming from a Belgian, this is something of a case of grey and black morality, not that Hergé; was your typical Belgian colonial. The Second Sino-Japanese War, in which at least 10 million Chinese civilians died at the hands of the Japanese Army, was undoubtedly among the darkest moral hours of Japan.
Averted permanently for the rest of the series. There's a non-caricatured Japanese detective in The Crab with the Golden Claws and the locals in Tintin in Tibet are all normal folks.
That was largely because Hergé befriended Zhang Chongren, a Chinese student who came to Brussels to study art and architecture. Zhang was his consultant about China, and was the reason why Hergé became sympathetic to the Chinese during the war and caricatured the Japanese invaders so heavily. When the war ended, there was basically no reason to draw these caricatures anymore, so Japan just became another nation to portray accurately. Ironically, while his first editor, a conservative Catholic abbot, was encouraging Hergé to be racist (hence the fantastically racist Tintin - Tintin in the Congo), it was another abbot who urged him to be more sensitive and introduced him and Zhang to each other. The character of Chang Chong-Chen is based on Zhang.

Explicitly averted in the original Charlie Chan novels by Earl Derr Biggers, in which the author set out to create an Asian character on the right side of the law for a change. How accurate they are is open to question, but at least some respect for the Chinese and their culture is shown.

In their first (and only) appearance, their sub-fighters (who utilize a Brain/Computer Interface) easily outmaneuver and kill a long-time secondary character, proving their technological superiority. Supposedly, the Chaodai were planned to be the next Big Bad alongside Macronesia.

The Magician: The villain in "The Illusion of the Lost Dragon" is a descendant of warlords who used to rule Szechuan Province, and who regards anything that originates from there as his property. This includes demanding daughters of Chinese immigrants as tribute. Although he mentions that he is of mixed race (presumably to explain why the white actor playing him does not look Chinese) he dresses in ancient Chinese armour, and lives in a palace surrounded by Chinese servants.

Subverted and invoked in the revised Sons of Ether Tradition book for Mage: The Ascension. Fang Qinbao is one of a group of globetrotting archaeologist-mages. He assumes the persona of "The Insidious Doctor Fang" as a way of dissuading interlopers - his 'death-traps' are, in reality, a way of neutralizing his enemies without killing them, letting him and his friends escape. (Oddly, playing the part seems to make his enemies behave like they're in the pulps themselves - getting caught in Fang's traps, or wasting their time against Fang's followers.)

Caliphate subverts this with the Celestial Kingdom of Han, which is what the People's Republic of China has turned into in a dystopic future. They are portrayed as amoral and strange post-human people with no reservation about performing weird experiments for their sinister purposes, and it's clear they want to replace America as the resident superpower. With that said, they are allied with the Americans against the titular Islamic empire because the latter represents the more immediate and dangerous threat.

Balls of Fury (a Whole-Plot Reference to Enter the Dragon, but with ping-pong!) parodies it with Christopher Walken as a white guy who's apparently obsessed with being this trope as it pertains to old kung-fu movies (and also takes parts from other Asian cultures and uses them as part of his fixations, ie. having sumo wrestlers carry him around on a palanquin). The main characters are stunned to see he's white, as the composite sketch looked nothing like him.

Doctor Who has never played this absolutely straight, but three individual stories have shown elements of it:
Mavic Chen in "The Daleks' Master Plan" has a Chinese-sounding last name, stereotypical East Asian facial features created by sticking makeup on a white person, and even a sort of Fu Manchu-ish moustache. Since it's black-and-white, some fan recolours attempt to rescue this by colouring him pale blue, making him into an alien. The official intention was for him to look vaguely multiracial, as he was from the future.
The title character of "The Celestial Toymaker" dresses in stereotypical Mandarin clothes (recycled from "Marco Polo", which was actually set in Imperial China), which the production team intended as a play on his use of the Towers of Hanoi as a puzzle for the Doctor to solve. Unlike other examples, there's no accent, and no yellowface beyond a bit of makeup to make his eyebrows stereotypically straight and sharp.
"The Talons of Weng-Chiang" features numerous Mooks in the employ of the Tong of the Black Scorpion, including peasant-turned-magician Li H'sen Chang, but the ultimate villain is a white, possibly Australian, time-traveller from the 51st century named Magnus Greel. This doesn't really help, though, as most of the Chinese characters are portrayed as fanatical, bloodthirsty thugs falling over themselves to kill and die for anyone who impresses them with a bit of whizz-bang. And the only one who gets a Heel Realisation is played by a white guy in make-up.

Shang-Chi initially used Fu Manchu himself as a major supporting character in the 1970s Master of Kung Fu and Deadly Hands of Kung Fu (1974) series, where his son Shang-Chi fights against his father's villainy.
After Marvel lost the rights to Sax Rohmer's books, a Given Name Reveal renamed Fu Manchu to Zheng Zu, but kept most of the problematic elements. Gene Luen Yang eventually carried out a Soft Reboot in Shang-Chi (2020), redefining Zheng Zu as a very different character to Fu Manchu, with a more complex and sympathetic portrayal, and actively averting this trope.

The villain in Big Trouble in Little China is a stereotypical Chinese Evil Sorcerer named David Lo Pan, who dresses the part (well, the spirit version of him does; the decrepit old man version wears a suit and a tie). This is another example where the sting is taken off by having most of the heroes also be Chinese, though. Lo Pan himself is also not really presented as a peril to white America, and most of his crimes and depredations seem to be at the expense of other Chinese or Chinese-Americans.

In the South Park episode "The China Probrem", the eternally racist Cartman sees the Bejing Olympic ceremonies as China's way of showing how large, dedicated and disciplined they are, construing it as a subtle military threat. In the end, the only threat is Butters's shaky aim. Earlier in "Chinpokomon," South Park had already parodied this trope by portraying a Phonýmon franchise as an Imperial Japanese indoctrination tool. They at least got around that by casting Japanese actors, using accurate Japanese language (which Trey Parker speaks fluently), and making it so over-the-top nobody could take it seriously.

A subversion is related in one of Nightingale's anecdotes from Moon Over Soho, of how Folly police in 1911 went to bust someone they thought was a Chinese crime-lord and sorcerer. Turned out that, while he was indeed involved in white slavery, an offense often attributed to old-time Yellow Peril villains, he was also a white Canadian invoking this trope to throw off the cops.

Kabai Sengh, leader of the Sengh Brotherhood in The Phantom. (The name was modified for the film to make it sound more Asian; in the comics it's Singh, which is Punjabi.) He is played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who was the go-to guy for Asian supervillains back during the 1980s and 1990s (he played Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat: The Movie movie, for example).

David Wingrove's Chung Kuo series of sci-fi novels averts this. The founder of the system actually saved mankind from extinction, but it became corrupted over time, so that dissenters of all ethnicities work together to overthrow the regime. In the reboots, perhaps in light of changes in international relations, it's...less averted.

Ra's al Ghul is explicitly modeled after this character type, essentially being a more Arabic-themed Fu Manchu with all of the trappings (beautiful daughter infatuated with the hero, vast criminal empire, supernatural elements). His creator, Denny O'Neil, commented that his face is meant to be an unidentifiable mixture of facial features so that he is neither Asian nor Arab (of course, considering his tribe came from China, he is Asian). He also has green or blue eyes (depending on the continuity) and in media tends to be portrayed by white European actors (Liam Neeson, David Warner). In an interesting example in the former's case, he was cast to subvert this trope. As Batman Begins was in development right after 9/11 and its aftermath, Warner Bros. didn't want to play into an Arab terrorist stereotype so Neeson was cast.

Peking Duck, a minor villain in The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat is basically a G-rated variant of this. He's named after a Beijing duck recipe and dresses rather exotically, and he has two sumo wrestlers as henchmen. Not to mention his feathers are literally colored yellow.

Nick Carter also subverted the trope with his relationship with the heroic Japanese detective Ten-Ichi. Further departing from the trope, Ten-Ichi marries June Lamartaine, a French woman, in Nick Carter Weekly #460 (21 October 1905);that kind of intermarriage was quite rare in 1905, both in fiction and in real life.

Sixth Column depicts heroic white Americans fighting back against sinister (and themselves racist) "Pan-Asian" (A Chinese/Japanese alliance) invaders, with race-specific weapons. Heinlein usually made an effort to be non-racist, but when working with another's writings when you want to not anger them (as Heinlein did with John W. Campbell's All, the original story from which Sixth Column was modified) there's only so much a writer can do.

Project I.G.I.: Covert Strike has the Big Bad, General Wu Xing, a rogue Chinese official behind the theft of an EMP device and working with Russian terrorists, intending to use the device to overthrow the Chinese government which he perceives as "weak, hopelessly corrupt" before starting a war on the west. Marketing and promotional materials at the time keeps his presence a secret, but revelation of the game's main villain leads to the game being banned in China six months after it's release.
