For years China has tried to become stronger economically and militarily as a way to become more powerful in international affairs. That gave them a larger seat in the table but that strategy has already reached its ceiling. They hoped Trump's "America first" approach would lead to defections in the US camp but actually the US have their allies under their leash more than they did 4 years ago. Especially because Trump started holding american allies more accountable and demanding stronger support for the US.

Opinions of China started to take a negative turn initially over Xinjiang concentration camps but particularly took a nosedive after their repression against Honk Kong. But covid was the final nail in the coffin. Now the average Joe who doesn't pay attention to international affairs but got his life screwed because of the pandemic has started to fully hate China because of them being the ones where it all started. The US isn't the only country where a big part of the masses believes covid was created on a chinese lab as a biological weapon. Many believe China created the virus. In the US it's been particularly bad, in the past years Americans had a slightly more unfavorable view of China than favorable (used to be around 40-50 with 10% undecided) now it's 3:1 unfavorable. In many countries, people don't want to take the chinese vaccine being tested, pushing towards the Oxford and J&J vaccines made in the west instead, scared of it causing some type of reaction on their bodies.

China doesn't have real allies aside from pariah states like Venezuela and Belarus and these regimes are all cornered with them running out of steam. Is China heading towards being the biggest pariah of them all?
