When you have people like Biden in power no one takes the US seriously anymore. You have no idea how many mock videos I see on 微博，抖音，微信 etc making him out to be an absolute airhead. Yes, I know they are all government funded and run, but still. His whole party is a joke on the world stage, just look at the US recent relationship with Saudi Arabia shows the world that no one takes the US seriously anymore.

Approval has softened since but the difference from Trump to Biden is still night and day when you look at actual data instead of anecdotes.
