Go in the real world kid. 99% of people of all politics will not like China.
You're such a redditor
It's also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.
You're really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans

That's ridiculous since the Chinese like China and we're 18% of all humans.
Here's an article about Americans getting salty that views on China in South America are largely positive as opposed to sub 50% approval rating in English speaking countries.
Here's Voice of America saying the same thing about Africa and how Africans see China.
Your opinions on China is not only in the minority, it's a waning minority. Those are western sources I used in case you wanted to cry propaganda.
CatholicSocialist's criteria for who counts as people:
Again, not talking about countries bribed by China, I'm talking about the countries of the majority of the userbases here...
You think the people answering questions in these surveys were bribed? That’s hilarious lol. Imagine the headlines, “Global corruption soars as China moves to enhance its public image by bribing billions”
Where do I sign up?
Go read about BRI infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. The global south is generally very positive about Chinese politics because Chinese give them hospitals and roads and ports.
I wasn't talking about people in countries that have been bribed.
lmao this is so dumb. Every campaign promise in every democracy is a bribe then?
No.... because they never fulfill their promises.
Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them
You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?
In fairness the statement is consistent. The US government does it's damndest to do nothing what so ever for the citizens of the us.
What makes you so sure of that?
Maybe the US should start "bribing" with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever
You know the US is upstanding because it won't even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!
Hmmm
dirty browns bribed by the dirty yellows
Most POC do not like China either, it's only a few countries.
China ~~helped other counties improve the material conditions of their people~~ bribed the dumb dark folk.
"I only want a government that doesn't do good things for me!"
The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.
Thank God I live in America where I'll never have to worry about the government doing that.
[laughs in IMF loans]
In the real world 99% of people in US think about where their next meal is going to come from instead of perseverating about China the way you're doing kid.
I think you'd be shocked to find out that most of the world thinks very highly of China and it's accomplishments and foreign policy. Though you like meant only to refer to Americans, which is understandable given your lamentable biases.
No they do not LMFAO holy shit. See the graphs I posted.
Nnnnnothin' personnel, kid...
I never said the whole world obviously.
