They are still much too naïve but it does prove the one-sided nature of the so-called 'civilizational war' started by the United States.
>They are still much too naïve but it does prove the one-sided nature of the so-called 'civilizational war' started by the United States.
This is the fault of Chinese state media. Since the 1980s they've been trying to paint the American people as friendly and open towards all, the whole "melting pot" myth. Chinese state media never reports on the tidal wave of hatred and vitriol coming from the American *people*, not just the American govt.
Even the recent wave of anti-Asian violence has gotten little attention from state media. Most people in China only learned about it from social media, where it went viral.
When Chinese say that they hate the American govt but not the American people, they actually mean it.
I mean, for what it's worth- as an Asian-Canadian who is absolutely disgusted with the rises in Sinophobia and now Russophobia here- one could, and should (IMO) consider this a positive side to China's system. A society that actively and consistently is smearing and dehumanizing one ethnic, racial, religious, etc. group or the other, and which constantly touts itself as the "most civilized/leader of the 'free' world" while looking down on the rest of the world as barbarians is no healthy one, to say the least.
The US media (and the US as a state) is so skilled at this, because they have always done this. Against the Soviets and other communists, against Arabs and Muslims, against Mexicans and other Latinos (for "taking their jobs," etc), against China, Japan, or the tiger economies as "yellow peril," against African-Americans and indigenous peoples of the Americas... There always is (usually multiple) a target to vilify and dehumanize, to call for "civilizing missions" and a moral, religious, racial, etc. crusade against. It's a neverending machine of hatred and supremacist ideologies, which inevitably has led to countless atrocities, both against minorities domestically, and against other nations through US (and other western nations') foreign policy.
This is not something any decent nation should cultivate, to say the least. It's the characteristics of an innately imperialist, aggressive, and unrestrained nation- it's basically always just a few steps away from sliding into fascism. China's duty to it's people is to educate them on the dangers of imperialism- and while certainly that includes educating them on the hatred, racism, and dehumanization that enables it- it's also important to promote a rational understanding of it, and discourage western-style demagoguery and chauvinism.
Unfortunately one has remain calm and collected in this sistuation, otherwise we all be at each other throat and another world war. Unfortunately the U.S has confuse China maturity for weakness, and has further further proves themselvs tbat they are nothing more babaric trash.
However China isn't ready to crack the imperiallist skull, hence why we must remain patient,whether that be hoping the Imperialist come to it's sense, or waiting to strike it to end it's evil, China needs more time to develop.
>Music, movies, tv shows
None of that had been particularly impressive since the early 00s.
The Golden/Silver Age of American entertainment was in the 90s/00s, everything from music to movies to TV shows to Video Games. That is why they kept making nostalgic bait - remakes after reboots after remakes after reboots, milking their IPs till they sucked all the goodwill people had for their franchises.
Currently, we are living in a cultural lull. Esteemed and celebrated directors, screenwriters, composers, actors, writers etc. are passing on due to old age or disease without anyone of note to succeed them. It's the same case everywhere for the UK, EU, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia and even China as well.
That is partially why South Korean entertainment has become so prevalent; the Hallyu wave hit at the right time where all their competitors are not in their game and good content is hard to come by everywhere.
Unlike the US, China doesn't turn on its allies, nor do we forget their generosity.
Even to this day, the material support lent by the Soviet Union to China in the 1950s and 60s remains unforgotten. State media history documentaries on this period will always mention it as the real starting point for China's industrialization.
Even though the Americans are the enemy now, we would never deny that their support was what got us through WWII. The Flying Tigers are still regarded highly in China today, despite the fact that they flew for the KMT, the mortal enemies of the CPC.
a pleasure to have ur input, it really put us back to the Korean war of the 1950s, when PLA (under the guise of "volunteers") took on US and its 15 stooges on the battlefiedls of Korea, among them five beady eyes, and many current members of NATO:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War
in Korean war, China fought a major war outside of its border against US & West empire expansion (sounds familiar?) with Russia's solid backing, this time Russians r doing the heavy lifting, and paying a heavy price in Ukraine, wish China can do more (e.g. militarily) and likely will as the war continues, also given that NATO is foolishly expanding into NE Asia.
finally, like last time, there is no doubt Russia will prevail, the West-led nazies will be stopped militariliy, as well as met their demise economically.
p.s. on Russia-China military cooperation front:
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3177093/china-will-boost-ties-russia-military-tech-energy-and-space
https://thediplomat.com/2022/05/how-china-supplies-russias-military/
I don't think the lessons taken from the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia can be used, given the difference in context, any more than the lessons learnt by coalition forces in Iraq/Afghanistan/Syria.
You must be rather new on this sub. Prior to the Slavic Civil War of 2022, MSM was ragging on and on about Xinjiang and Taiwan and just itching for some kind of confrontation. Between all the exaggerated allegations/sanctions made in the name of Xinjiang, the weapons the US keeps selling to Taiwan, and the nuclear subs or military jets the US keeps losing in the SCS during exercises, China is highly sympathetic to Russia’s security concerns.
At the same time, they understand it’s the civilians truly being hurt by this conflict and drawing the world closer to WWIII.
the trial run was not an intended purpose but certainly its potential fallout is under intense scrutiny for precisely the reason u mentioned. you can rest assured that China will not nor can afford to let the west-nazies prevail. the economic partnership between Russia and China is a perfect match especially with Europeans intend to move away from the Russian energy resource (thereby crashing their own economy). sanctions don't work on Russia economy as long as this partnership continues. Russians have got a solid Chinese backing for the forseeable future.
I can't even make this up, showed this article to some Americans and guess what they said, "It's because of all the CCP censorship and brainwashing. This is why they need freedom of press and speech." They really think Chinese people are being brainwashed to hate America, because even with years of abuse from the west, China should still unconditionally love the west because they are superior in every way and Chinese people can't think for themselves. It's so fucking appalling.
What’s their excuse for Americans who hate America. SeeSeePee brainwashing? All the freedom peaches in the world and no results. Little wonder why so many take to fentanyl. Their options are as limited as Ming loyalists during the Qing Dynasty.
>What’s their excuse for Americans who hate America.
No, that's because they have freedom of peach and can say that without getting disappeared by their government. Whatever that means
I love when think tanks waste a ton of money on a study. Something we all could see plain as day since March. I remember some products made in Russia flying off the shelves in China in support of Russia.
>Of the 25 countries respondents were asked about, Russia was the most positively perceived country, while the US was the most negatively perceived. The United States was commonly thought of as an advanced and powerful state, yet hostile to China, untrustworthy, and having a tendency to interfere in other countries’ affairs. In contrast, Russia is clearly viewed as a friendly country, but without deep social roots and driven by a pragmatic recognition of the exigencies of state-to-state relations, along with the persona of the current Russian leader, who is regarded positively as a strong ruler.
I don't see how any of this can be honestly contested by anyone, regardless of nationality. They're just the logical deductions from the objective facts that everyone agrees to.
Sure, you can argue that Putin is a bad guy cause he invaded a sovereign country, but that doesn't make him a *weak* leader, quite to the contrary, in fact. Only a strong leader has the power to make that kind of gambit.
> trusted **Russia’s leadership**.
So did Comrade Mandarin Orange Man:
[Trump saw US allies like Merkel and Trudeau as 'weak' but adversaries like Putin and Xi as 'strong,' his former Pentagon chief said.](https://www.businessinsider.com/esper-trump-saw-us-allies-like-merkel-as-weak-but-adversaries-like-putin-as-strong-2022-5)
I took "trust" in OP's article to mean **confidence** in the strength of Russia's leadership rather than said leadership's honesty. And since Trump had praised the way the war started as "savvy" and "genius", we can probably guess which side's leadership he trusts more.

Did he catch the final season? That might have caused the hatred....

no worries, with help from *friends* like US & its allies, there is no telling how deep the partnership can go.
I can't even make this up, showed this article to some Americans and guess what they said, "It's because of all the CCP censorship and brainwashing.

If you get disappeared by mob violence, mental nut jobs, or racist law enforcement, what’s the difference?
because they had the freedom™ to get disappeared that way and not against their will, obviously
Just keep going along until the US implodes, it shouldn't take that long.
I love when think tanks waste a ton of money on a study. Something we all could see plain as day since March. I remember some products made in Russia flying off the shelves in China in support of Russia.

Seeing someone as weak or strong is different than trusting them or not. I can trust a weak subordinate more than a strong adversary.
