I'm not American. And no, I think America is falling down even more, it is clearly morally and ethically bankrupt. The only thing it has going for it is money but I think this will decline too as goodwill is important too and Trump is burning all that to the ground.
The US has an open media and the western world internet is a non-stop airing of the US's dirty laundry.
China has only state media and little internet overlap with the west.
From the POV of your typical western internet denizen, The US elected a dictator to burn the country to the ground, while China is building
a utopia where the fruits are free for everyone.
I certainly don't see our european media to be pro-China. The Uyghur issues are major criticism. Also the way they treated their citizens during the pandemic and the protests.
Uyghurs, Tibet, and Taiwan, for starters. Taiwan in particular could become a conflict if push came to shove. Hard to say. (No nation will go to bat for the Uyghurs or Tibet, though.)
It doesn't change the fact, that as an European I really wish we had a better relationship with China and ditched US and their backward policies. It's OK to point out atrocities made by big empires, they are all guilty anyway.
