The rise of China, changes all of that, that perception.
Everyone is truly tired of their shit.
However, the west was the only game in town, and people of the world had to put with it.
Now with China supplying what the west used to sell in many areas, and at more affordable prices, peoples and countries no longer need to put up with that shit anymore.
What is remarkable, the west collectively, 99% of the media and 95% of the politicians, are oblivious to that fact, that people of the world do not want to put up with that shit.
Not then, not now.
