US Domestic Politics & Its Global Effects
ทำไม ‘คนจีน’ ถึงรักทรัมป์? | วิเคราะห์ปรากฏการณ์สุดแปลก
Summary
The Economist’s analysis finds three groups in China who admire Trump, each for different reasons.
The first use him to mock America; the second like the strongman style and the conservatism.
The third are the younger Little Pinks, who define themselves against liberalism and woke politics.
Key points
Admiration is not agreement with the policy
The first group likes what he does to America, not what he does to China.
Decisive leadership travels across cultures
A style that projects certainty finds admirers under every political system.
The Little Pinks need to be understood separately
Young Chinese nationalism defines itself against a particular set of Western values.
Chinese society does not speak with one voice
The largest observation here is an internal diversity that usually goes unnoticed.
