Chinese topics are not popular because us foreigners cant usually participate in them at all. If China ever reopens for foreigners you will see more positive attitude towards China. There is a lot of people that want to like China but China actively works on getting rid of any foreign influence from its country. I mean there is a lot of people who think of China as this cool place where they would want to live and work without caring too much about its issues in Xinjiang or with Taiwan. Because guess what. A lot of people just want to love their chinese partners, raise children or simply enjoy working in high tech Shenzhen.

I think it’s also the case that current China is actively working on moderating every bit of information that comes out of China so if you’re not living there it’s unrealistic to expect one to have any opinion based on facts. But it seems like now you can’t safely live there. So there’s no way to build your own opinion.

  there are so many blogs out there that even translate the memes going on in chinese media. although the party is censoring political stuff, there is so much more that goes on and that is not redacted or censored. to me it is just pure ignorance that people do not search for that stuff actively. over 9000 "OMG JAPANESE RYOKAN" views on videos and ig posts, but 14 views with Chinese stuff.

    That's because China actively works on trying to not look cool. People used to like China's progress (big cities, infrastructure, the cool vibe of China) but the CCP has decided that they just want to look threatening and menacing instead of cool and welcoming. I mean you get all these propaganda raps where it's so unnatural and repulsive. There's few examples of content out of China that is not political and people seem to like it (Li Ziqi's videos).

      you understand that there are over 1.4 bn people? I bet there will be one or two who will look cool. It is NOT ONLY JUST politics. obviously you have no idea what this country actually has to offer. again, i am tired to talk on this pro-west-only board.

        You dont seem to understand what I am talking about. Li Ziqi is also CCP sponsored propaganda but it's actually propaganda that PEOPLE LIKE. That's what I am talking about. Western people dont respond well to threats.Western people will not be in awe because China does something grandiose or menacing. This pro-west-only board is like this because we are all WESTERN and can participate in the WESTERN world.And this applies to anyone that decides to including chinese people.
