U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.

    Go in the real world kid. 99% of people of all politics will not like China.

      You’re such a redditor

      It’s also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.

      You’re really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans

      Go read about BRI infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. The global south is generally very positive about Chinese politics because Chinese give them hospitals and roads and ports.

          You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?

          Maybe the US should start “bribing” with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever

          Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them

            Most POC do not like China either, it’s only a few countries.

      That’s ridiculous since the Chinese like China and we’re 18% of all humans.

      Here’s an article about Americans getting salty that views on China in South America are largely positive as opposed to sub 50% approval rating in English speaking countries.

      Here’s Voice of America saying the same thing about Africa and how Africans see China.

      Your opinions on China is not only in the minority, it’s a waning minority. Those are western sources I used in case you wanted to cry propaganda.

      In the real world 99% of people in US think about where their next meal is going to come from instead of perseverating about China the way you’re doing kid.
