“Soft power” is even more important during times of sharp words and military bluster, but the cultural appeal of American culture and ideas has waned in China.
Makes sense that the Chinese state would put a lot of effort into stamping this sentiment out, especially now that their surveillance and social engineering tech has matured. In the olden days you had to run over students with tanks to get them to stop wanting democratic access to power. These days technology allows techno-fascist states to construct an entire reality around someone so they never even have the Wrong Think in the first place.
In a country where you can fool the entire mainland about what happened places in HK, Tibet, Xinjiang, Tianjin etc. it can’t be too difficult to undermine any positive sentiment towards democracy. Trump absolutely did regimes like the CCP a favor for sure.
It’s a good object example of how fascism has become a global movement and different fascist groups feed off one another.
Those is a perfect example of how fucked up and brainwashed Americans are that even far right conspiracy theorists who could write this ignorant shit hate Trump too. It’s a chimp’s tea party of the damned.
Normal people the world over here the USA. It’s not just the Chinese, any remnants of respect are gone for good.

Hmm the US isn’t a particularly good example of a democracy.
