Global views appear to have flipped in Beijing’s favour, driven in part by tensions between the Trump administration and US allies, a new Pew survey shows
Looking at the 6 countries being more fond of the US, we essentially have 3 groups.
China backs Russia: Poland
China is a regional threat: the Philippines, South Korea, India and Japan
They genuinely like Trump: Israel
But for most, China is reliable and you understand what their goals are. Because they literally have a 100 year plan and tells you most things in advance. Trump is just a smoking gun, he’ll do something today, something else tomorrow and I can’t even fathom what he’ll do the day after - While being corrupted more than any leader of a major country ever has
Yeah, the graph clearly shows that for most of these countries it is just the US moving down on the shittiness scale. It is not like these countries are suddenly saying “we love China now”, the US has just overtaken them on appearing more shitty. They are both in a race to the bottom.
Absolutely, as a European I am more worried about China than before, because without EU and USA being allies on the global scene, there is no doubt that China will dominate even sooner.
None of us can balance out China alone. But hopefully China will be a more graceful world leader than USA. 🙏
This is not because views of China have improved. It’s just that the view of the US has gotten that bad
