What ive found works is just to point out that the chinese govt actually does shit to improve the lives of their citizens while the US govt doesnt.
I think to call out propaganda, and show what goes well in China. And to show people Chinese made media like C-Dramas
I like to bring out the point about them lifting 800 million people out of poverty. No guarantee the person will listen, but it’s a weighty statement. I also like to bring out the one about the US having the highest incarceration rate in the world, for similar reasons. You could try to work on things detail by detail and that’s probably more lasting and influential in the long term, but some of the most surface level facts are “big” on their one. It can be shocking sometimes comparing the differences and sometimes a little jarring rhetoric might be what’s needed to get somebody to stop in their tracks. Some people are deep in the details of lies and some are more gonna be going off vibes of what they heard in passing.
Promote non interventionism. We don’t have to convince them to like China. It’s enough to convince them to stop meddling in foreign country affairs, and focus on building socialism in America. We’ll cross the China bridge when we get there (seemingly never)
One thing that I’m convinced actually works is to go to China and make videos that humanize the people, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QIEU9KkY5g
I use them in examples when people complain about something in the US and I’m like “yeah we really need to do x, y, z thing. I mean that’s what they do in other countries. China does is and they don’t have these issues .”
Like when people whine about driving and traveling etc, and I’m like “yeah imagine if we had high speed rails. You could travel from Denver to Indianapolis is like 8 hours on a train. I was watching this video on high speed rails in China. It’s practically not worth it to fly for them because of how convenient their rail system is. If we had that kind of rail system I would barely need a car.”
That kind of stuff.
