Xi wants to make China more lovable around the world. He may have a tough job.

Papa Xi should issue his “Little Red Book” to rest of the world too.

After reading his instructions we will also start loving him blindly like the Chinese bots do.

Of course, winnie Xi needs to be loved.

His wonton egg warriors are starting to give him grief. Some indigestion that no jamaica gemmer cant fix.

Thousands of people gathering in a country like Hungary does show that Papa Xi is making big waves.
Love is in the air.

Why do white people think that EAST needs approval from them???

Why does Chinese, Japnese, South Asians or Russians need validation from Europe or USA?


I dare conducting a similar survey in Afghanistan, Vitenam and see how many find US favourable.


This is pure nonsense.

It would help if you researched examples before citing them as a practice.

Based on the latest ABS data, only 25 percent of Vietnamese respondents believe that China has exerted a positive impact on their country, but for the United States, the number goes up to 85 percent. https://thediplomat.com/2021/05/china-and-the-us-who-has-more-influence-in-vietnam/

The purpose of surveys is not just doing a survey, but rather whom you have surveyed, i.e., if the world's developed and wealthy nations that most affect global revenues_ are seeing you in a negative light- then that matters more, over some 3rd world country.

Look to your left and your right. Many people want to come to live in the US over China. That's our brand power.

Xi wants to make China more lovable around the world

The sheer breadth of issues and depth of accusations facing Beijing may make it trickier to put a more positive case before the court of public opinion.

Faced with widespread international criticism over China's approach to a litany of issues both at home and abroad, its leader has an idea: a rebrand.

President Xi Jinping said this week that China must improve the way it tells its "stories" to a global audience as it seeks an "international voice" that reflects the growing status of the world's second-largest economy, the official news agency Xinhua reported.

"We must pay attention to grasp the tone, be both open and confident but also modest and humble, and strive to create a credible, lovable and respectable image of China," Xi said Monday at a Communist Party study meeting, according to Xinhua.

He added that it was crucial that China improve how it presented its narrative globally in order to "make friends."

The comments suggest a possible shift in China's approach as relations with key powers — most notably the United States — continue to deteriorate.

They could also hint at a move away from so-called wolf warrior diplomacy, in which Beijing has positioned itself more assertively, and antagonistically, on the global stage.

But revamping China's approach, and its image throughout the world, may be easier said than done.

China has faced criticism over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, treatment of its Uyghur Muslim minority population, and its crackdown on Hong Kong's autonomy. Beijing has denied allegations of human rights abuses and rejected claims of a coronavirus cover-up, all while clashing with Washington over trade, Taiwan and territorial claims in the South China Sea.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last month that China had recently acted "more aggressively abroad" and was behaving "increasingly in adversarial ways." In March, during his first major foreign policy speech, Blinken said China represented America's "biggest geopolitical test of the 21st century."

Xi's language marks a "fundamental shift" away from China's previously assertive global rhetoric, said Dr Yu Jie, a senior research fellow on China at the London think tank Chatham House.

"Clearly, President Xi is getting anxious with the drastically deteriorated relations between China and many countries in the West. Therefore, China must re-set its course of public diplomacy," she told NBC News.

"This gives a strong signal that the most senior Chinese leadership considers that the hardening diplomatic rhetoric has lost its course," she added.

The sheer breadth of issues and depth of accusations facing Beijing may make it tricky for China to put a more positive case before the court of international public opinion, however.

Welcoming Xi's calls for a change in tone, China's state-owned Global Times newspaper remained adversarial in an editorial Tuesday, accusing the West of "using its hegemonic advantage in the battleground of public opinion to launch stigmatization against China and forge a negative narrative of China."

Beijing may have grounds to be concerned about its global standing beyond the corridors of power.
A 2020 survey of 14 countries by the Pew Research Center, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada, found that "unfavorable views" of China had soared over the last year. The survey also found widespread criticism of China's handling of the coronavirus pandemic to be common.

Negative views of China increased the most in the U.K. and in Australia, where 81 percent of respondents there said they now view China unfavorably, up 24 percentage points from the previous year.

Beijing has ruffled feathers in both Australia and the European Union over trade, and clashed with the U.K. over Hong Kong — a former British colony.

The proof of Xi's desire to make China more lovable will be in the pudding, according to Peter Trubowitz, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics.

"Most Americans and a growing number of Europeans will be looking less at Xi's words, than the actions China takes going forward at home as well as abroad," Trubowitz told NBC News. "For Beijing's many critics, this is where the rubber meets the road."

He added that Xi's call for a change of tone may also represent "a tacit acknowledgment that Beijing has lost diplomatic ground internationally, especially since the start of the pandemic."

XI wants us to see him as a cuddly pooh bear now after pushing viruses into the world on purpose?

i applaud the Chinese leadership for publicly stating that they want to see their image improve, but i'm also worried that they will want to keep engaging in, and denying to do so at the same time, of the shady state practices that are the basis of this western anti-China campaign that is now gathering steam.

i see real opportunity for the Chinese leadership to get what it wants (respect for it's culture, autonomy, territorial integrity and economic and political stability).
you must phase out and eventually stop completely the following practices :
- intellectual property theft
- cyber warfare and the harboring of criminal groups that engage in such practices (same goes for Russia btw)
- arms races
- mass internment
- organ harvesting
- cultural oppression
- state official corruption
- debt trapping of other nations
- cyber espionage of citizens outside China
- striking down of demonstrations by bloodshed

it's a long list, i agree, but first of all : not all of these practices are at an intense level. they vary per region and decade. they can be phased out.

what you can not do however, is keep them hidden from the world.
by even trying that, you are turning yourself into a real threat for many many countries on Earth.
and that will not be tolerated, as is becoming increasingly clear in the EU and US at the moment.

you need to realize that people may not want to live with the wold view that you feed the average Chinese kid in an average Chinese school, or have run on Chinese state TV regularly.
and you need to respect the rights of all humans, even Chinese citizens, to have a meaningful measure of autonomy and personal freedom, so long as that does not threaten the economy or state.

i am 98% sure that following this plan will get you genuine respect, and the trust that's needed for meaningful international cooperation instead of expensive and dangerous rivalry and arms races.

good luck.
