I can only speak for my small sphere of awareness: it’s very poor. The above sentiment is apt. There’s been a big change in attitude around me over the past few years. “Wait, what again makes China worse than America? What makes it the enemy? Why aren’t we working with them more?”

It would be less depressing to think about if the questioning was due to a sudden improvement in China (human rights, government, environment etc) rather than due to a sudden decline in the USA.

It’s due to a sudden technological advancement and quality of life in China. You cannot discount this, the technological and economic growth China has seen within the last two decades has not been seen in the history of mankind.

Ditto. I’m in New Zealand.
