I share your sentiment. However it is the way it is at the moment. I think it's difficult for people outside of China to have a clearer view because it's hard to verify any situation unless they are in person. Knowing the language isn't enough since unlike the Anglo-sphere no much are known expect news media (largely from non-mainland reporters who have strong political stance already) or entertainment industry. But I'm still optimistic. Even in english reporting one can still be heavily biased towards negativity (e.g Russia, Ireland etc). As long as we keep the communication bridge open eventually we'll have a better understanding of each other.
