This not an apt comparison. Else we could say American kids know more about Anime than about our Independence Day. Kids like kid things.
I doubt people in the Podunks of interior China have much awareness of what the US is about other than what their official propaganda tells them.
- 082349872349872 2y agoThis sounds like an easily testable proposition... (for someone with better hanzi-fu than I?) EDIT: ok, so I was just on douyin.com (seeded with what deepl told me were "farmer" and "opinion of american people") and there's a fair amount of official line delivered by news commentators, a fair amount of not-the-best-of-the-Old-Country phone footage that's been helpfully subtitled in chinese, and not infrequent tubes of chinese-on-the-street commenting about the US or interviews in the US, eg https://www.douyin.com/video/7253009716257836347 https://www.douyin.com/video/7253009716257836347 (the latter two categories are easy to spot because they've been subtitled in english as well as chinese, but I'm most curious about if the people standing in front of tractors while speaking their bit are ranting as their stateside counterparts often seem to be?) Anyone with better language skills have a better site, or better query? EDIT2: finally found the deep link: just click X to dismiss the QR code popup; no idea what that may be...
