    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).

      Apart from the pure , 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

      Good.

      They care about the middle and lower income countries, though, because they can exploit minorities and pay lower income to outsource to them

      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).
