China surpasses US in popularity among Arab youth as Beijing expands Middle East footprint

the likes of @MH.Yang @beijingwalker @etylo keep touting of benefits of trade with China. Your Arab survey respondents might not feel the same way

Heck Pakistani generals decided their Papa John franchises are too valuable to give up :enjoy:
So Indians believe that India and Pakistan are very different??? So Indians think India is much better than Pakistan???
 
Makes no difference.

Can an Arab youth immigrate to China ? Nope
Can an Arab businessmen purchase property in China ? Nope

Why do they immigrate if they enjoy peace and development in their own country and more opportunities for young people?
 
This is Just lies and propaganda by Chinese Communist Dictators who like to support Pakistani military dictators responsible for massive human rights violations.

Majority of the Middle East people have ZERO respect for China as they know the true ugly face of Chinese communism.

You believe you are the majority? the OP poll was not conducted by China.
 

China surpasses US in popularity among Arab youth as Beijing expands Middle East footprint​



Eighty percent of respondents consider China to be an ally of their country, while 72% found the US to be one. Support for both countries has grown from last year, when the US stood at 63% and China at 78%.

First of all, popular with the Chinese does not mean they will turn on the American. It can be popular with both China and US, and in this case, let's assume this study is correctly conduct, 80% of Arab youth considered China is an ally, 72% of youth considered US an ally

Second thing you can glim from this article is, again, assume the conclusion is correct. Is that Russia and other Arab nation is the BIGGEST LOSER. Because it said this

By contrast, the 2018 edition of the survey found that other Arab nations dominated the top five countries seen as allies, with the exception of Russia, which ranked fourth. Neither China nor the US were among the top five. The 2015 survey ranked the US second.
US and China were NEVER in the top 5 before.

So what this report say is both US and China improve their relationship with Arab nations. Which is a good thing for both countries. And consider the 9-11 and the subsequent 20- years war in Iraq and Afghanistan, I would say it's quite amazing 72% of Arab youth see US as ally, because when I was there in Iraq and Afghanistan, 90% of Arab youth in both country chanted "Death to America" daily
 
You sidestep the subversion, destruction, colonization and neocolonization of developing countries by the West.
trick question - who destroyed the Arab world ? Western powers or the Ottomans
 
usa lost middel east and move on to indo pacific.
 
You believe you are the majority? the OP poll was not conducted by China.
Don't blame the Arab Youth liking China over USA.

After the Iraq war, I'm pretty sure many Arabs started to look to alternatives to USA.
 
Youth are naive and prone to popular media influence, Russian youth is still somewhat naive, but elder Russians are hardened.

As for these public surveys, they very much depend on methodology, not very meaningful anyway. I bet they keep the real survey a secret.
