The Yellow Peril was the perceived East Asian (primarily Chinese) threat to Western civilisation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It commonly influenced fiction, including that of HP Lovecraft and the Doctor Who story The Talons of Weng-Chiang. It is an apt addition to The Yellow Mythos given the association of Carcosa and the Yellow Codex with the far east, and the racial tensions depicted in The Repairer of Reputations.
