Can you imagine Americans up in arms that someone in China doesn’t like or respect America?
Yes. Absolutely.
But in general, Americans have hate China at a personal level. The Chinese do not hate Americans at a personal level. They see the conflict as just political - not personal. The level of anti-China propaganda in the US far exceeds the level of anti-American propaganda in China in my opinion.
See, this is the thing. It’s just wrong in spirit. Americans just don’t care about China. Americans don’t particularly think about any other countries, period, and they definitely don’t care what those countries think of them.
That seems wrong. Every mainstream American news publication is doing anti China propaganda. Major politicians are using China as something scary they can protect you from to win elections. Even on HN, you get one or two anti china posts everyday.
Are there any news articles from mainstream journalism you could point to that were harsh but fair regarding China, or is any negative or unflattering statement about China “anti China propaganda”?
I read about economic growth and modernization and brilliant public transport projects in China all the time. I read about how Shenzhen is a Mecca for technology product development. I read about the great success of Chinese software companies — essentially the only country in the world to have a real software industry other than the US.
Your view is distorted, it is worth considering if that distortion is motivated. Is it emotionally important to you to believe this? Would you be unhappy if you entertained the alternative?
But in general, Americans have hate China at a personal level. The Chinese do not hate Americans at a personal level. They see the conflict as just political - not personal. The level of anti-China propaganda in the US far exceeds the level of anti-American propaganda in China in my opinion.
