Someone posted a succinct wojak meme of this but it doesn't even do it justice
Western opinion of other countries is far worse than the reality of the country is.
Chinese (or any non-west) opinion of the West, is always way more favorable than the west actually is.
Even the few anti-western things that Chinese people are exposed to (healthcare costs in US, ineffective trainbuilding in US/UK/Europe) are just material. Chinese people do not know about things like Tulsa, let alone the other 1000 massacres equivalent to Tulsa that even Americans don't know about
Because of Chinese censorship laws, Chinese do not see the videos of American police officers releasing 50 shots into an unarmed already-detained man because a squirrel farted somewhere nearby
Anti-Western propaganda does not exist. And even a balanced reality of the West does not exist. ALL mainstream viewpoints on the PLANET are pro-western, sometimes even moreso if they DON'T speak english
Optics. The Philippines was going to receive free COVID vaccines from China which would have shifted the country's opinion on China positively which threatens the US's attempt to alienate China from it's neighbours. So they ran a huge anti-vax campaign in the Philippines (not just Chinese vaccines, that would have been too obviously American propaganda) so people would think China is trying to poison them.
Anyway it has signal boosted anti-vax quackery in the Philippines and contributed to unnecessary premature deaths.
That's fucking evil.
