Mostly because of their involvement in Turkish domestic affairs. Just one example. (Of course they denied it later.) There are a lot of things like this, especially behind the curtain. On the other hand, our societary memory is bad in general, so the younguns don't know much about them. It appears, they at least know the general idea.
Erdogan has this big enemy (forgot his name, he has quite some followers i believe) he rightfully or wrongfully claims tried to organise a coup, ten years or so ago. The main guy lives in the US and the US does not want to extradite him for good or bad reasons. I'm not sure what to believe about this, but i suppose something like that can generate quite some hate - especially since Erdogan seems to care as little about facts as Trump does and controls the 'legit' Turkish media, and thus controls the narrative about his big enemy and how the US goes against Turkey's interests.
It's fine to dislike the US, I get it, but to favor China above the US shows me you have no idea how horrible China truly is. I guess the propaganda is working.
