The lib I work with here in Qatar, a redditor, at first was like, 100% anti-China, but with Palestine and Qatar being attacked (and the US military base here being utterly useless), he’s begun to agree with me that the global South absolutely should shift to dealing with China instead, especially as the government (democrat or republican) is not loyal to its word or negotiations.
I don’t think he likes China all that much, but he acknowledges that at least the CPC keep their word and they’re not looking to create conflicts and divisions.
A lot of western arabs (who actually care about Palestine, not the Lockheed-employed kind) love China and the DPRK lol. The US is doing irreversible damage
I wish this were true of the Iranian diaspora as well, but it’s like 2/3rds libs and monarchists and 1/3rd hardcore government supporters. Though among the hard-core supporters it’s more likely to find people who like the DPRK but not China. Kind of an odd mish-mash of opinions.
Maybe it’s becuase I’m most used to interacting with Lebanese and Iraqi Arabs, but the former I’ve found to have a subsection of hard-core Hezboallah/Iran haters. Which is odd becuase they’re also Shia. It’s not common but it happens enough that it makes me scratch my head, cuz finding an anti-resistance Lebanese Shia is very difficult normally.

Funny thing about pro-DPRK and anti-China: without China DPRK would be eliminated long time ago.
