Out of curiosity I dug up some of the research, at least as of 6 months ago (haven't found anything more recent) it's fair to say that overall APAC leans towards "unfavorable" in its attitude towards China.

Favorability is down double digits from 2018 in APAC (though strangely up double digits in parts of europe).

So "only china believes china's narrative" isn't super technically correct but I think the general sentiment is accurate.
