Probably due to the US government doing a constant stream of insane things that hurt Americans and their allies and China not doing that.

- wolvoleo 4mo agoYes this. China's leadership is pretty evil and clearly a danger to the world but not insane.
- plastic-enjoyer 4mo ago> China's leadership is pretty evil and clearly a danger to the world Is this how Americans are coping with their civilizatory down fall and vanishing hegemony?
- wolvoleo 4mo agoI'm not American. And no, I think America is falling down even more, it is clearly morally and ethically bankrupt. The only thing it has going for it is money but I think this will decline too as goodwill is important too and Trump is burning all that to the ground.
- scott01 4mo agoCan you elaborate?
- KingMob 4mo agoUyghurs, Tibet, and Taiwan, for starters. Taiwan in particular could become a conflict if push came to shove. Hard to say. (No nation will go to bat for the Uyghurs or Tibet, though.)
- vachina 4mo agoYou need to refresh the latest propaganda Codex, those topics are so last decade.

It doesn't change the fact, that as an European I really wish we had a better relationship with China and ditched US and their backward policies. It's OK to point out atrocities made by big empires, they are all guilty anyway.

- resters 4mo agoChina’s leadership is pragmatic, transparent, mature.
- WarmWash 4mo agoThe US has an open media and the western world internet is a non-stop airing of the US's dirty laundry. China has only state media and little internet overlap with the west. From the POV of your typical western internet denizen, The US elected a dictator to burn the country to the ground, while China is building a utopia where the fruits are free for everyone.
- wolvoleo 4mo agoThey have state media but we don't consume those. I certainly don't see our european media to be pro-China. The Uyghur issues are major criticism. Also the way they treated their citizens during the pandemic and the protests.
- kulahan 4mo agoLet's not waste time pretending the US is doing something on the same level as what China is doing to the Uighyr. Imagine for a minute that Trump were a lot smarter, and also ran the supreme court and congress, and you'll basically have Xi.
