The narrative here seems to be that propaganda is solely to blame. The real reason is surely more nuanced. While propaganda has an effect, China is led by a brutal authoritarian regime, which surely plays a large part in shaping the world’s perspective.
I mean here’s the footage that was produced by CPC about the Tienanmen Square and shown in China.
Also, whatever human rights abuses may happen in China these certainly don’t even begin to compare to the atrocities US is responsible for. We can start with the systemic racism and the fact that US keeps 20% of world’s prison population largely consisting of minorities using them as slave labor. The list of atrocities at home and abroad is simply staggering.
I’m also not sure why people think that social credit is somehow unique to China given that credit scores exist in the west. At least Chinese version of social credit is used to apply pressure on the rich while western social credit is used to oppress the poor.
When it comes to worker rights and overall democracy, China is far ahead of US in those departments.

Yeah its not like The US has protests every summer where police just murder people.
Or like the US still has slavery in prisons.
The US definitely doesn’t have any sort of shitty credit scoring system controlled by private corporations or anything.
The US is a bastion of workers rights, right? why else do you think police unions are so strong?
The US state dept definitely isn’t projecting or anything.
Human rights watch is a US org that’s pushed for every single coup in latin america the US has tried. https://thegrayzone.com/2020/04/08/billionaire-human-rights-watch-sanctions-nicaragua-venezuela/
