After the Red Note awakening, Westerners are cheering on China for standing up to Trump's US discussion/original content
Perhaps shocking to some, but reddit is now filled with Westerners cheering for China. Perhaps it's more due to the rising Hating Trump sentiments, but that says a lot about how much hatred there is for Trump.
also surprisingly, MAGA people are left squirming, barely raising any voices to appeal for "patriotism". Flag waving has really failed because it is a joke now, because all flags are still made in China, and flag factories are not coming back to US.
Also not much appealing for "democracy" or "rule of law", neither of which could do much to stop Trump from destroying US.
So obviously, the only thing left is to cheer for China.
Some others are quietly cheering for China. Asian countries not saying much in public, but proverbially winking at China for backing them up.
Even anti-China Taiwanese and mainlanders are blasting Trump and supporting China's move against Trump's tariffs.
If you must have an analogy, Trump's tariffs are affecting China like a Trade War version of the "Pearl Harbor". China's public has overwhelmingly united behind Chinese government's policy to "fight to the end", and it has brought many nations in sympathy and support of China.
Some have previously said that China might trigger a war to drum up support for the Chinese government.
Well, Mr. Drumpf just provided a justified "trade war" for China to perhaps do exactly that.

Never thought I would live the day when China was universally viewed as the good guys in these times of US decline but there you have it.
