While around the world, muslims are angry that China has enacted a concentration camp for millions of muslims. (I'm sure since you're in Malaysia, you should have heard your muslim friends say something about this). Americans are pissed off that China steals trade secrets and doesn't abide by any of the laws in WTO. Vietnamese, Indonesians, and Filipinos are upset about the Chinese aggression in South Sea. Japanese are upset about the perpetual hatred Chinese government has against Japan (tons of WW2 drama portraying Japan as evil).
Well if I look at Japanese history in China in WWII and before , that portrayal might actually be justified. Especially given Japans stance on it, where museums in the country conveniently leave out Japans actions in China at that time. Coming from Germany that attitude seems… dishonest at least.
WWII has been over for more than 70 years now, and Japan has been among the most productive, peaceful nations in the world since that time. To continuously insist on portraying Japan as evil warmongers qualifies as racist propaganda.
Imagine if the people, and the governments of the nations of the world insisted on portraying Germany as unrepentant Nazis at every opportunity. Surely you can agree how stupid and frustrating that would be as a German.
Are you in the USA? Because I'm sitting in Malaysia (who historically has a fraught relationship with China) where China is greeted with a mix of suspicion and opportunistic welcome (knowing that any cash or other assistant will have many strings attached)... basically the same way people think of the USA.
In other words: no change; no international good will to lose.
