Seems like you’re reading too much into this. Chinese social media news is inconsistent and usually just noise. Also, doesn’t Xi say something about improving relations every other month? Chinese gov doesn’t whine about the US gov every single day while fantasizing about vaporizing the entire civilian population for no reason like the other way around. Most Chinese “hatred” of Americans is defensive while American hatred is lashing out against anyone against them even mildly.

I know there's been a whiplash of Western nations going from viewing Chinese as passive to insane ultranationalists with the flames being fanned by the CPC, but what people continue to fail to realize is that the CPC actually keeps a lid on things so that ultranationalism doesn't get out of control.

The CPC wants patriots, not insane fanatics who want to hammer at every nail they see without any rational input or thought of obvious consequences, nevermind unforseen ones. It's been said many times and bears repeating, if the CPC completely relinquished control of the internet Westerners who think they've seen everything when it comes to shitposting are in for a rude awakening.

Honestly 2024 has not been a good year for India.

  • 0 golds at Olympics
  • Lost Bangladesh
  • Canada now hostile to them
  • Sunak/Harris lost showing that Indian Diaspora are not liked in the west like they think they are
  • Huge influx of anti-Indian posting
  • Have to sign the border agreement with China so they cannot have a legit reason against China anymore without looking bad
In two weeks time, there will the World Chess Championship between Ding Liren against Gukesh. This is their last chance of making 2024 look not so bad. If Gukesh loses against Ding who is now ranked like #20 coz he wants to quit, you will never hear the end of it for the next two years.

I think their only ray of hope is if Vivek Ramaswamey gets a position in Trump's new admin, since it looks like that Indian dude who was hyped to become the new CIA director doesn't look like he'll get the job.

Vivek is Hindu so that might limit the positions they are willing to give him. They probably see him less American than like if he was Christian Indian.

What happened with the Indian CIA guy?

Also its a huge step down from boasting about how you were running the US/UK to now just having just a cabinet position in the west. Indians really just lack any self-awareness or shamelessness here. I don't believe Indian support for Trump is that sincere since they were boasting about Harris quite a bit up to the runup of the election. Its just that she lost so now they are trying to say oh we always were for Trump.

It would be interesting to see what Trump's position will be on Tiktok. One the one hand he probably doesn't want to be seen as weak on China, but on the other hand Tiktok had a hand in his election win...
