TL;DR: #Winning
As a Eropean., looking at that map is really really REALLY depressing!!
I’m a bit surprised to see China is more popular than USA in so many European countries including my own.
I don’t think that’s really the case if people thought more about it, it’s the immediate reaction of feeling betrayed by a friend and ally.
But if USA continue their current hostile policies against Europe and the world, and continue on their path towards fascism, of course China can be seen as the lesser evil.
One thing is for sure, the old relationship with USA is ruined, and there is very little chance EU will go back to be as pro American as we used to be.
This is a HUGE loss on both sides, we should have stood together to protect democracy, and to balance out China, that will soon be a global economic force never before seen.
But Instead USA chose to attack every ally they have, and alienate them beyond repair. Hopefully China will be a graceful superpower, when there is nobody to counter them.
USA needs to turn around super fast, and make it clear that the MAGA crowd is out politically for good.
Because democracies like USA and Europe and other allies need to strengthen alliances rather than weakening them. And we need to stand more for the values of democracy instead of breaking them down.
If we don’t, China and BRICS will dictate the terms in the future, and the world will devolve into an authoritarian hell.They’ll claim it as a victory that Trump’s winning because they’re all mad they can’t take advantage of the US anymore.
It’s true, we’re way less poplular here in the US as well, which is, of course because we ARE actually part of the World.
Can confirm
