    Across the high-income countries surveyed, a median of 70% view China unfavorably.

    Across the middle-income countries surveyed, a median of 56% view China favorably.

    This is worrying. China doesn’t give a fuck what high income countries think about them because we still buy their shit anyway. They care about the middle and lower income countries, though, because they can exploit minorities and pay lower income to outsource to them (which is crazy considering how little they pay their own laborers).

      Apart from the pure , you gotta love the subtly racist smugness of white westerners halfway across the fucking planet being so confident that they would know better whether or not and by who the peoples of middle-income countries are exploited than the peoples of middle-income countries themselves.

      1. How do you think China got so prosperous? Being outsourced labour is the foundation of the Chinese economy.

      2. Stop projecting your AmeriKKKan views on other countries lmao

      Good.

      Guys did you know that China does business with developing countries, just to exploit the minorities??

      (which is crazy considering how little they pay their own laborers).

        Unfortunately your stats link appears to be paywalled, or at least requires login to see the graph?

            I don’t have an animal farm, let alone a pig one.

            You’ll get that reference in your second year of university after the goth girl you have a crush on mentions it and you switch geopolitical views for the fourth time in 12 months, based on whatever your admired peers are trending on at the time. Don’t forget to wash your hair every once in a while. You my not smell it, but others do.
