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

    But FWIW its always vindicating that for the average human, this way of life is irrational.
