I mean, thats a low low low bar

This reads like more of a trade piece. China is seen as a more reliable trade partner.

I would argue that they are looking better for more than that. Politics aside, they are actively pursuing better technologies and methods to curb climate change, have firm predictable stances on most anything, whether you agree with them or not, and they generally seem to stick to a plan or agreement.

The biggest elephant in the room with them seems to be Taiwan and their record of human rights issues. Which, although terrible, are still somewhat predicable.

It’s wild to me that we are in a universe where this is happening, however compared to the US, where every day seems to bring a new flavour of uncertainty and ridiculousness, no wonder.

As a 'Murican, I can’t hardly blame them.

China isn’t putting tariffs on us or threatening to invade and their ambassador isn’t a giant asshole who keeps insulting us, so yeah.

People surveyed in 36 countries now see China more positively than the U.S., with more overall having higher confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping than in Trump.

I just know there’s a bunch of Americans on the internet right now, getting whooshed so hard as their brains interpret that with, “So you think China is good?”

It’s true. I used to be pretty anti-China. I mean the CCP seemed like they were setting up as the primary antagonist for the geopolitical meta, at least from the Canadian perspective.

But then the States goes all “hold my fuckin’ beer” and kicks us in the balls from behind. So yeah… Fuck you, USA.
