Doesn't surprise me at all. South Koreans and Japanese are the most brainwashed; it's like America spent all their efforts on brainwashing there just to prevent the Asian connection from causing them to drift to China. I knew this when European polls said that China did better than the US during COVID but S Korea and Japan actually said the US did better... the country where half the people think COVID is not a real virus but a fear tactic to implant mind control chips into people through fake vaccines, an idea that stemmed from the POTUS's rejection of CDC safety guidelines. China, on the other hand, actually eradicated COVID in months until it was re-introduced by the outside. All the Anglo countries have more based opinions on China than S Korea and Japan and some of those countries still buy the Uyghur genocide narrative.

Wellllllll not if Trump can change the US forever. If he can make such an impression that every Republican candidate after him runs based on how similar he is to Trump, this could get quite interesting.
It’s not just brainwashing for Japan and Korea, but their industries are the most threatened by Chinese growth.

Trump has changed the US for the near future at least. There is no trust. Being in Canada, the country that is literally the closest to the US, the trust will not return any time soon. It is not a switch. Stupid Trudeau approached Biden like a BFF, people’s feelings weren’t on the same wavelength, now he isn’t PM anymore.

Does the China favorability responses from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore seem a bit too high?
Also 50-51% from Italy and Argentina?? Huh?
OTOH, I'm very disappointed with the South Koreans.
I wonder how much the improvement in China's favorability score is to do with being anti-Trump and pro-Palestine.
China being pro-Palestine (and the US being a direct enabler of the Israel genocide in Palestine) is definitely a big reason why Indonesia and Malaysia have much more favorable views of China now. Ironic, given Indonesia's massacre of ethnic Chinese in the past and actual cultural genocide of Chinese culture, and Malaysia's literal constitution stating that non-Malays (incl. Chinese) are second class citizens, and a long history of Malay politicians being explicitly racist against ethnic Chinese for votes. But I digress.

Singapore is what really surprised me though, as I feel that they have always prided themselves as being "superior" to mainland Chinese, and their government, while politically neutral in theory, has leaned Western on a lot of issues. I wonder if it's simply a result of China becoming much more powerful economically and technologically + soft power through Mihoyo/Kuro Games and C-drama shorts + Trump being an absolute moron.

Note the lady I posted earlier with her masters degree stripped is second on that list.

Because this news is blowing up one of the top tier wumao troll artist posted this:

Is this NTR?

Feng Wei is a sycophant of Japan through and through—a tendency he has never made any effort to hide. If he can really be brought to justice, that would be truly gratifying.

I think Xi's speech this week and Kimi K3's release has been quite the windfall for Chinese soft power. Aided by much own goal scoring by US AI companies and their seething, calling it Full AI Communism and such. Having said that, if you're going to sell AI as an endless spring of efficiency to the market and the govern, then Xi saying China is committed to open source is very much seizing the means of production and giving it to everybody, so maybe AI communism is onto something, but then to say it's a dystopia comes off as trying to threaten everyone with a good time.

It just happens Chinese techbros are in tune with people's distaste over US AI labs so they also deliberately play into themselves being disruptive revolutionaries upholding the banner of open source.

I think the real problem is the Western capital put all their bets on the Gen AI prize horse, which would’ve gone disastrously for their own society even if everything worked as designed. They bet everything on cost saving for companies at the expense of the entire white collar workforce, let that sink in… How much more psychopathic can you get than that? Why do you think the younger generation are getting China pilled despite half a century of anti-Communist/socialist propaganda? It’s because any alternative is better than the one where tech bros run society into the ground.
