Yes, support is not judged by words. In what way exactly is support for China demonstrated by other countries? They buy Chinese because it is cheap. That is it. Beyond that, they adhere to global political, economic and financial regimes established by the US. They trade in USD. They export to the US. They seek diplomatic and military support from the US.
Also, get two things straight:
1. The diplomatic and strategic affairs of nations are not run according to the whims of its citizens. Governments demand answers: who is the world's foremost proliferator of WMDs? which regime has the longest track record of supporting rogue states? which country has a non-democratic government that is showing expansionist tendencies? which country has such a lousy reputation of crushing its own citizens and minorities that its diplomatic credentials cannot be taken at face value? These are all questions that the Chinese regime is extremely uncomfortable in answering.
2. Chinese opinion on popular perception of its government in the outside world cannot be taken seriously. To be good at anything, one needs practice. The only credible guage in the modern world of popular opinion is the outcome of democratic elections. China doesn't have any democracy (please spare us the nonsense on village-level elections). So its people have no idea of how popular perception is guaged. All that you know are lies fed to you by your state-controlled media.
India has supported China in many ways, liking BRICS, AIIB, SCO. What serious action has India for United States? Just talks, no actions.
You cannot define rogue states by yourself. Every country has its own history and its own development track. Soviet Union collapsed because it tried to force its own ideas on many countries such Hungary, Afghanistan, choslovakia etc. United States is repeating what Soviet Union did.
Democracy is just a political method, not a political goal. if democracy cannot lead a country to develop, then it should be kicked out. The goal of a country's politics should make a country strong and make people rich. This so called elections are not scientific. It always abducted by extremists and ignores scientific solutions. Just one example, if you had elections in mid-eve Europe, you would never have secular politics since most people believed in religious politics. Decisions should be made by scientific data and calculations, not this kind of elections. China vs. United States is Science vs. Democracy. Most Chinese officials have scientific backgrounds while most United States officials are lawyers.
The democracy in China is to guarantee the collection of scientific data and expression of scientific discussions, not for decision making as in the United States.
The China model is more close to corporate structures. CEOs and Chairmans are selected by most experienced people. and then approved by stock holders.
Therefore Chinese governments are as efficient as private companies. State enterprise in China are much better than other countries. This is why United States is scared and wants to set TPP to exclude Chinese state enterprises.
And China has developed this bureaucratic system for nearly 2000 years. We have advantages in this kind of system. Almost all Chinese are well accustomed and familiar with this system. We will not use disadvantaged western system for competition. We just need more and more improve ourselves.
You cannot have a startup to compete with multinational with the same products, the same ideas and the same methods. You need to find your own advantages. If the country is just following the west like this, you will never catch up with them. You always need to ask yourself what's new.
