Of course they’re viewed more positively in middle income than high income countries. The high income countries are all part of a global military alliance focused entirely on destroying communism and have fed their populations anti-communist propaganda for decades.

They’re one the main geopolitical adversaries of the political block that all the rich countries have formed, whereas they are investing in and helping develop poorer countries.

It is an absolute laugh though that all the countries that destroyed the Middle East over the last 30 years think China is a threat to world peace.

But have you considered that they fly their jets close to our spy planes that are hovering around their airspace? Menacingly?

High income countries dislike the poor working conditions and authoritarian government. Those things are par for the course in middle income countries so it’s not as big of a deal.

Very unserious understanding of world politics.

Across the high-income countries surveyed, a median of 70% view China unfavorably.

Across the middle-income countries surveyed, a median of 56% view China favorably.

This is worrying. China doesn’t give a fuck what high income countries think about them because we still buy their shit anyway. They care about the middle and lower income countries, though, because they can exploit minorities and pay lower income to outsource to them (which is crazy considering how little they pay their own laborers).

Good.

Guys did you know that China does business with developing countries, just to exploit the minorities??

(which is crazy considering how little they pay their own laborers).

No, you should definitely double down on your fascism. That’s a great side of history to be on.

Are you sure you’re on the right side of history when your side includes Germany, Italy, and Japan, and you’re up against Russia and China?

Perhaps it isn’t the developing third-world country with improving quality of life every year that is the fascist, but rather the same people who have always been the fascists.

Apart from the pure https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/421568bc-79d9-414b-be7d-b37ed21895ba.png, you gotta love the subtly racist smugness of white westerners halfway across the fucking planet being so confident that they would know better whether or not and by who the peoples of middle-income countries are exploited than the peoples of middle-income countries themselves.

  1. How do you think China got so prosperous? Being outsourced labour is the foundation of the Chinese economy.
  2. Stop projecting your AmeriKKKan views on other countries lmao
