Their narrative on the US goes back even when America and the world would have classified the US as rock solid. The current events is just them seeing that they were correct the whole time.
I’m more referring to the rank and file Chinese who don’t speak or read any English.
There are far more Chinese English speakers than American Mandarin speakers. Not that it matters, as we’ve had translation software for decades and quite a few people doing the yeoman’s work of manual translation for even longer.
But it might say something about the insightfulness of Chinese political analysis that they picked out the flaws in our system way back when the vast majority of Americans were fully blind to it. Perhaps the Reagan and Clinton Eras should have been a warning sign we heeded a bit earlier. Perhaps there’s something to this historical materialism that you’re not giving enough credit.
You can make an argument that they are correct, but most of America is panicked about the rise of fascism, whereas China sees fascism as a solution to chaos.
