    People know the U.S. better than almost any other country. The U.S. is very loud while China is rather quiet. And that‘s not from a lack of trying from China‘s side. It makes sense people feel stronger about someone so loud. Someone who had influenced the world so much with pop culture and politics.

    Personally I still prefer the U.S. over China but that‘s a very low bar. As a European I want to be more independent from both.

      “Personally I still prefer the warring state funding genocide in Palestine and threatening me with tariffs and destroying the world economy with an oil war every 10 years and maintaining the fossile fuel lobby, over the country manufacturing 95% of the world’s photovoltaic modules, supplying me with affordable consumer goods, with the latest nuclear reactor technology, and which hasn’t engaged in one war in over half a century”

      Please, reconsider whether your views of China are rational or stem from Hollywood propaganda.
