• Per the poll, 76 countries out of 96 surveyed held a more positive view of China

    worth highlighting this part of the article because it means over 100 countries were not polled, so the results are probably less harsh on the US than they could be lol

      Looking at the map, the missing countries are mostly western Europe and a big chunk of Asia. So they would likely be pretty similar or maybe even slightly less positive towards China. I still can’t imagine it pulling back to favouring the USA, though. And really, between BRI and American warmongering, I’m amazed that even Americans could be surprised by this…

        Huh? There’s like one country missing in Europe.

        The nations missing are the AES nations in Africa (pro-China), Russia (pro-China), Iran (pro-China)( DPRK (pro-China). It basically omits all the “bad” countries, the actual global results would be overwhelmingly damning for America by a massive margin. 80% of the population of Earth is outside the “walled garden” of the West
