I visit China frequently for work and feel that the impression most older Americans have of China is incredibly out of touch. The traditional media portrayal of the country is definitely a part of this. Yes, it’s certainly an authoritarian state, but this doesn’t change whether the people are nice or what they want in life.

Authoritarianism was a bullshit term invented by child-fucker libertarians to frame themselves as being the good guys.

What if the majority of Chinese support the CPC?

Who’s publishing that statistic?

The populace wants stability, the government wants power. Even if they have popular support right now, I still see it that civilians ultimately just want what we all want. The CCP doesn’t.
The CPC doesn’t? How so?

I can’t if you don’t tell me what instance it is.

Don’t know if you haven’t noticed, but there’s nothing “backwawds” about what China is doing right now. They’re kicking your ass at everything

Please explain how Xi is like Mao? I don’t even mean this in a good/bad way, just like specific similarities. Cuz it really just sounds like you think both Mao and Xi bad and so you are just saying Xi bad in a really roundabout way.
Wasn’t part of the promise of economic globalization that increased interdependence would lead to less conflict? That a smaller, more connected world, would lead to intercultural communication and understanding, leading to a more stable international order?
I mean, wasn’t this supposed to be a feature? Why is it being reported as a bug?
The majority of that age range still considers China an enemy, but a tiny fraction of ambivalent onlookers out of an overwhelming majority of a reflexively anti-China populace is enough for the Economist to dedicate an article to a fucking YouGov poll.
It’s just another pearl-clutching “what’s wrong with today’s youths” headline to panic the elderly while flattering compliant millennials/zoomers for being one of the few (despite still being the majority!) “good ones” that march goose-step with consensus Western political thought.

Younger Americans will be friendly to any place that’ll put up with them when Trump wins
China, Qatar and Iran, buying Americans minds since 2000.
Investment is paying off.
A lot of American youth are just anti-america and uncritically reverse engineer their opinions based on that. That’s how a bunch of tiktokers promoted bin ladens manifesto.
