The data is coming from the world’s largest democracy perception study, published by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (a Danish-based non-profit organisation).
Some background information on the source. From NATOpedia:
It was founded in 2017 by war criminal, former NATO secretary general and likely current CIA asset Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Among the co-founders you find the politically connected oligarch Fritz Schur who provided a significant part of the funding for Anders Fogh Rasmussen’s Liberal Party during his tenure as prime minister.
It is an organisation devoted to advance atlanticism, neoliberalism and western imperialism.
And yet, it still shows China in a more positive light than its masters.
Yes. That’s what makes it quite remarkable.
There could be several reasons why such an organisation would publish this. It could have been published with the expectation that it would only be read among the elite who actually needs accurate information. It could also have been published to push for some sort of “renewal of democracy” through tighter control of the media and harsher repression of dissidents. It could also simply be a “look at his brainwashed the Chinese are!” Kind of thing.
whatever the intentions, it’s for damn sure they won’t want to disperse this sort of thing to their mainstream news outlets
Actually this stuff has been going on TV since I can remember.
in other words, it’s an org that cannot possibly be accused of having a pro Chinese bias
