I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before on here, but r/China seems to have undergone a huge demographic shift. I'm sure most of us got into these online spaces back when r/China was still very much a English teacher/sex tourist kind of space. Then up until around 2019 and especially COVID, it became a place for self-hating dissidents and disgruntled departees to rant about China. But over the years, although it still has its haters and doesn't blindly worship China, the sub seems to be now filled with people generally being pro-Chinese policy towards the US and the expats seem to be now praising the quality of life in China compared to their home countries. This shift has nothing to do with the "wumaos," who still mostly congregate on other subs and consider r/China to be a no go zone, so they might not even be aware of this shift.
All in all what can I say? The tide of public opinion appears to be shifting in China's favor. Even on X when I see anti-China toxicity, especially after USAID got cut and the trolls logged off to find other jobs, its only from those White supremacist incels who flooded the site after Elon Musk took it over.
