Being such a menace, that Xinjiang is seen as the lesser of two evils. "At least the Chinese are not killing people outside of China!"
That story doesn't really exist outside the US, UK, and Israel, mainly because it's blatantly and plainly untrue according the UN investigations.

I doubt this to be true.
I don't doubt it a bit. China's got issues, but when it comes to foreign policy they're miles ahead of the US, especially these last couple years.
They are miles ahead of the US on genocide... And lets not talk about their cooked economy...

And Belts and Roads, they build garbage and try to enslave the country into letting them run rough shod over them. Its neo imperialism at is lamest...
Not like they're saying it in English.
Eeh. These kinds of global opinion polls are rarely worth anything, but I can see it being largely true. China has been making a real push to expand their soft power and it's been pretty effective - see opinions on lemmy about china's genocides for an example. It's boosted opinions about them quite a bit at a time when the US is taking it's rep for a relaxing drive off a cliff. The US rep will almost undoubtedly recover if/when we oust trump though - he just makes it so damn easy to hate him specifically, and his obsessive drive to make everything about himself has largely (and sometimes correctly) shifted the social burden of the fault for US crimes from the country as a whole to him and his cronies specifically.
I think insights regarding trends et cetera can be drawn from this poll.
Interesting point about the US behavior being tied to Trump's brand.
Australia's relationship with the US has taken a hit. The government is still keen to cosy up because it's our only chance to maintain resistance to China's influence. However, the public sentiment on the US isn't very positive at all.
LOL. I don't. The US is cooked. Yes China are assholes too, just less-so.
"Less asshole" Can we talk about the Uyghurs and the Falun Gong? Or how about they are in a current full country ethnic cleanse to make everyone Han?
