Chinese people get their information about western countries from anglophone pop-culture, which is why they are repeatedly shocked that the western political class acts like brats. Also scandies and dutch people like to act canadian and project the „nice liberal utopia“ outwards
There's an interesting part in Gao's "Battle for China's Past" in which he convincingly argues that positive portrayals of the west are mostly the result of the CPC directly promoting these stories and cultivating a positive image of foreign life in general. This was largely the result of the liberalization of the economy, so leaders wanted positive views of the "international community" they were trying to enter.
no,china has great firewall,most of people can’t access to the the western pop culture.but billions of travelers overseas especially in us,who can confirm US is not paradise.i still receives larger shootings that happened in US in bilibili and weibo.
those chinese students overseas have great expectation to europe and US before they go to there,but most of them went back to china with discouragement,and became a patriot except for some mind colonized persons who get down on their knees to the west.
