Americans may find it hard to comprehend but much of the world now sees China more positively than the US. Has their opinion of China changed, though? No.
It’s going to be a SUPER rude awakening for Americans when they find out there are consequences to all of this and the benefits they’ve enjoyed for 70 years are being actively unwound.
The day a country stops being dependent on the US is the day the US stops having any power over it.
Since most of them have zero concept of a past or a future and believe everything is a continuous reaction to the present, the way they live their own lives, when they don’t see IMMEDIATE negative results to an action, they assume it had no consequences at all. I’m no psychologist, but considering a ton of the asshats who support this government were also from the kind of families that didn’t let their children receive natural consequences and instead got out the belt, they internalized “If nobody beat me after I did it it’s fine.”
You needed a poll to figure that out, huh?
Not exactly a high bar to clear, historically speaking.
It helps that China isn’t meddling in elections and supporting government overthrows
Visibly/publicly.
Africa is their playground.
“Kids dislike local bully more than their pen pal”
I wonder why. How many heads of state has China kidnapped?
I mean, without specifying South America, there’s the Dalai Lama for one…
Really really low bar.
yeah ask tibet n co how they feel about china
Did you know that Tibet was a feudal state before 1959 and that over 90% of their population were slaves/serfs. Just search for “mi-ser” and how they were treated (hint: like slaves).
Further interesting reading can be found by looking up what role Tibetian religion and culture played in all of that
Are you justifying external repression with internal oppression?
Tell me more about the history of Bhutan and Ladakh, vs Tibet, and the state of well-being after they modernized so rapidly. Consider the role of self determination and the adaptability of the plateau culture when not under the boot. Consider what colonial suppression has done to Ladakhis in India, vs China.
Ask cu a how they feel about America 🤷🏻♂️
you were probably one of the people surprised when iranians asked for help from america
