Black or White? Xi is the Only One in Color: "Our Great Leaders Are Greater Than The Sacrifices of The Dead"

The Chinese Communist Party said the country would mourn the deaths due to the coronavirus outbreak on April 4, 2020. In doing so, the Foreign Ministry turned their homepage black and white; however, pictures with the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping and PRC's premier Li Kexiang remained in color, creating a huge contrast to the intent to mourn.

Questions are also raised concerning the political agenda behind the mere act of commemoration. On the eve of the global outbreak, Chinese state media has blamed the U.S. for spreading the coronavirus and revised previous news on the discovery of the Wuhan pneumonia (COVID19) in China in 2019. Recently, videos and reports disclosed how people in China celebrated the calamities due to the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. and Japan.

Across 19 countries, more people see the U.S. than China favorably – but more see China’s influence growing

//In 19 countries surveyed by Pew Research Center this spring, people see the United States and President #JoeBiden more favorably than China and its president, Xi Jinping. But when it comes to perceptions of each country’s relative influence in the world, much larger shares in most nations see China’s influence growing than say the same of the U.S.

The five key findings comparing international attitudes toward the two countries are:

1. The U.S. is generally seen more positively than China.

2. Views of Biden remain much more positive than views of #XiJinPing.

3. A median of 66% across 19 countries say China’s influence on the world stage is getting stronger, while just 32% say the same about the U.S. 

4. In many countries, younger people tend to feel more positively about China than older people. 

5. People on the right of the ideological spectrum are more likely than those on the left to view the U.S. favorably, but there are no strong ideological patterns in views of China.//
