Fewer Americans Now View China As An Enemy Amid Shifting Opinions On Trade And Tariffs, Pew Survey Finds

What bruh said the bolder. Indians and Chinese have a similar academically inclined population but why is India still stuck in the trenches?

How come Indian cities aren’t world class, brimming with innovation with people tripping over themselves from all over the world to go see the bright lights?

I think the bruhs with the two posts above provided some great answers. Both make sense to me

Yes they did, so my next question is what does that mean for Africa when it becomes the next low cost labor frontier with all the tribalism and colonialism that is part of the fabric of their society?



Even with all their natural resources there’s no reason the place shouldnt be looking like Brunei or Dubai.

That american propaganda washing off...

 

[RamsayBolton]

Im fine with this

 

[Seoul Gleou]

I guess the propaganda is working

I wonder why China has been able to catapult itself from a largely farming society to what it is today and why other countries who were given the same “opportunities” haven’t.

long history and capitalists weren't given the reigns to to the extent others were.

America created a mutated monster out of a wolf and is trying to tame it into a domesticated dog due to America's superiority complex but it's backfired.

I’m sure it’s a multitude of reasons why India is what it is

But still India has leveled up considerably just like China from foreign investments, you got Indian people CEO’s of the biggest companies, they sent a satellite up to space, they even got people in politics in several countries

But it’s nuances we wouldn’t necessarily understand cause we don’t know the real history of India or China

But let’s not do this narrative where we about to act like Chinese people just better than everyone else, I wish black folks didn’t feel the need to sensationalize everything, the fact that we been the victims of propaganda not only shown to us but shown to the world we should be the main ones trying to be rational/skeptical about everything

It is really simple. Americans see a Communist government as less dangerous and hostile than a White Nationalist government. Americans are right.

[Stir Fry]

China is the less insidious of two evils


As a people we're pretty upfront with our griminess lol

I’m sure Rednote, Tik Tok, and general curiosity on YouTube also helped.

You can't be serious. China is not a communist country. They are a totalitarian state with a leader for life and they practice a from of state capitalism where the state controls everything. The funny thing about posts in this thread is that China is already at the end goal of what Trump is trying to turn this country into, but people keep acting like they're some savior.

Trump is a liar, thief, a conman and a convicted felon. His administration is about White Nationalism with not so hidden links Nazism, so he is clearly a fascist and as you point out he is trying to do in America what you state is already donein China. The difference is that Putin and Xiping are much more trustworthy than Trump and the fact that an American President is even being mentioned in the same breath as strongmen and you have to admit that they are actually more honest; tells you how low Trump truly is.

Largely off of the backs of huge investments from countries like the US and trade. Having a huge population with people willing to do "low level" work is also key.

Culture + Centralized sustained leadership with the Nations best interests at heart

Good grief. You're making my point for me. You rightly criticize Trump as a conman with authoritarian tendencies, but then you turn around and say Putin and Xi are more "trustworthy"? No offense, but that view is backwards and blind to reality. These are men who crush dissent, rig elections, imprison journalists, and silence opposition through violence. You're not critiquing Trump when you call them "more honest," you are giving an unintentional endorsement of full-blown dictatorship.

If Trump is dangerous (and I agree he is), it's *because* he's trying to emulate exactly what Xi and Putin already represent. So why are you romanticizing them?
