The fact that you think any post that isn't straight up anti-China proves my point.
To answer your question: Zero. I'm an American who works in big-tech as my main source of income.

In another timeline, we would have already settled this issue. US Foreign Policy was pivoting to Asia in the late 90’s and W’s neocons were all-in on the China “problem”.
Then 9/11 happened and they chose instead for wars in Central Asia. But at least we got the iPhone. We’d probably all still be using flip phones with Plan A.
Poor neocons, it must bug them their ideas became so progressive.
The China in the western news and the China I know in real life are completely different. In the news, China is always framed as evil - always up to no good. In real life, it's just a freaking country where life is peaceful, stable, things are improving, people are getting wealthier, society is improving.
Also, most Americans believe that China has the same anti-American propaganda in Chinese society. This is wrong. Most normal Chinese people I've met over the last 2-3 years don't have the same "hate" for Americans as Americans have for the Chinese. Chinese people understand that it's just political, two countries fighting for resources. However, Americans have a real "hate" for the Chinese through relentless anti-China propaganda in the news.
