I can't say I'm surprised.

I follow many Reddit aubs about various international topics (architecture, travel...) and you always see some many criticism about everything Russian or Chinese (same for middle-eastern ocuntries...).

It's actually kind of ridiculous how much of agenda there is against some countries from the average redditor.

Russia is a bit different in that Russia is in a land war in Europe and is the aggressor. That's just not done. At least that used to be the norm before Putin had compromat on the president. China, so far, hasn't invaded anyone.
