One of my friends is from Hong Kong and he talks about China like it's a normal country, how disgusting of him. Wants to go there once to work in IT as well. Or to improve his Kantonese and Mandarin.
On a serious note, many people with non-Western roots think like this. Almost as if Western propaganda is targeted at a certain audience.
I work two jobs and speak to a wide variety of 99% working class people in both. When the topic of China comes up I find that most people have neutral or even positive view of the country. Talking to people only on Twitter or whatever would definitely make you think otherwise.
The ones who have a negative view are usually the types to watch some stupid probably fascist youtube and think they suddenly understand economics and go on about how China is collapsing soon cause of covid lockdowns or some shit. Even then Iβve had a lot of success just pointing out that US media canβt be trusted on the issue.
All the American liberals around me in my experience get uncomfortable if I so much as praise China's rail infrastructure and seem to think that Uyghurs have been poured into the concrete or something.
Whenever I mention my respect for Cuba and my desire to meet the country and people are normal about it ππππππ
