My parents watch a lot of Chinese TV. They get a lot of censorship approved news.

Their opinion is that Biden is old and senile. He can't talk straight and has lost his marbles.

They don't like Trump either but Biden is just terrible.

Something I want to point out:

Phoenix news, a very influential outlet in China is started by Rupert Murdoch and AFAIK they still have a stake in it.

An unstable America is great for Russia and China. So yes, while Trump is a racist POS, the levers of power in China, who have never given a crap about the diaspora are rooting for him because overall instability there is great for the motherland.

Asian Americans, talk to your parents. They might not be ok.

@chu My elderly students in Japan are getting some of that too, much as I try to disabuse them. I think in Japan’s case, their media just act as stenographers for U.S. headlines, which are unfortunately dominated by right-wing editors these days.
