Here the favourable views from a poll of 137 countries conducted by the Centre for Future of Democracy, Cambridge, UK

USA: 62%
Russia: 56%
China: 55%

What’s more that Russia & China are more popular than the U.S. in developing nations, where 85% of the world’s population lives.

In Belt and Road (BRI) nations, China is extremely popular.

    It definitely feels like there was a conscious agreed upon decision among higher-ups to begin heavily pushing Anti-China propaganda around 2017. That’s when I noticed Reddit really becoming shit.

      People hating china jumped 30% in like 15 years. The US propaganda machine is very effective.

        Its just the “Asian Peril” all over again. Look at the 80’s and early 90’s US opinion of Japan, US media was slobbering all over itself as everyone vomited out horrifically rascist and disgusting propaganda. Why? Japan was threatening the US’s market dominance, and thus became an enemy. The Japanese economy was crushed, and with Japan put back in its place as an US puppet, they quickly became “honorary westerns” again. The US is attempting the same thing with China, except its backfiring, and rightfully so.

        Looks like two big waves of focus on the issue by the psy operatives.

      Reddit has been plenty racist before. 2016, Russian army choir perished in a plane crash en route to Syria. r/Europe had people cheering.

    I have to remind myself sometimes that suffering =/= knowledge of reality. I recently spent a lot of time around a Columbian who is a major fan of Coca Cola and that irony alone (forget all the rest of the terrible pro-American views they had) reminded me that even people directly destroyed by America who are nominally outside of their cultural bubble still have dogshit takes on politics both regarding their own countries and the world.

    Still, it is disappointing that these numbers are the way they are, especially in the developing world. The disparity seems that it should be so much greater.

    Perhaps these numbers could be even worse, perhaps this should be a testament to how even with an unprecedented amount of resources spent by America propagandizing how brilliant they are globally, that reality still shines through their muck.

      Yeah, it was a good reminder for me how insular the west is and that the rest of the world is far saner.
