China's global favorability rising, while the U.S.'s is...not so hot [1]

In less than a month, Liberation Day and other big, beautiful days has essentially flipped the scales on how the rest of the world views China and the U.S.’s standings globally.
As of the end of May, China had an 8.8 net favorability rating, compared to -1.5 for the U.S.
The U.S. had a largely positive reputation last year, but it dropped like a big, beautiful rock once Trump came into office for his second term.
China's rating has been negative going back to October 2020, when Morning Consult first began tracking the data points; but it started trending into positive terrain after election day last year.
"As views of the United States worsen, trade and investment opportunities for American firms doing business overseas may also diminish as consumers shun the products and job opportunities they provide," writes Jason McMann, head of political intelligence at Morning Consult.
Not only that:
"The reputational damage done by the "Liberation Day" tariff announcements has now sealed the deal," per the report.
Protip: Never a bad time to start learning Mandarin.
