    Across the high-income countries surveyed, a median of 70% view China unfavorably.

    Across the middle-income countries surveyed, a median of 56% view China favorably.

    This is worrying. China doesn’t give a fuck what high income countries think about them because we still buy their shit anyway. They care about the middle and lower income countries, though, because they can exploit minorities and pay lower income to outsource to them (which is crazy considering how little they pay their own laborers).

      Apart from the pure , you gotta love the subtly racist smugness of white westerners halfway across the fucking planet being so confident that they would know better whether or not and by who the peoples of middle-income countries are exploited than the peoples of middle-income countries themselves.
