    | As the Trump administration wages real war with adversaries
    | and trade wars with friends, Americans are changing their
    | minds about the United States' biggest rival, China, for
    | the better, according to a new survey.
    |
    | It's a stark difference from just a few years ago, when
    | Sinophobia and anti-Asian hate crimes in the US spiked
    | during the Covid pandemic. Tensions between the two
    | countries had deepened after a trade battle during US
    | President Donald Trump's first term, and by 2023, only 14%
    | of Americans had a favorable view of China, according to
    | data released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.
    |
    | Now, that figure has nearly doubled to 27% - reflecting a
    | broad shift in sentiment across the American public,
    | especially among Democrats and young people. It mirrors a
    | greater curiosity toward Chinese culture and entertainment
    | on Western social media, evident in recent trends such as
    | "Chinamaxxing."

    I hear Trump is going have some plastic surgery to enhance his
    epicanthic eye folds.

    He can't handle chopsticks, though.

    America’s Mao Zedong

    Donald Trump's administration has been chaotic. Chinese
