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.

Biden seems like he's not fully there at times due to age, but Trump was literally laughed at by world leaders.

He often makes himself sound like an insecure unintelligent narccisist with bizzare unsubstantiated claims.
Those speeches may work on the MAGA crowd, but in a room full of people who are probably mostly academics and qualified for these positions, you instead get this situation where they failed to contain their laughter.

Other times world leaders were caught on tape making fun of how dumb he is. And several of his former close associates described him as an idiot after they left.

But if that was all, it wouldn't be as big of a problem. He also actively weakened USA's relations to UN and NATO allies, expressing desire to leave the alliance. Which is very much against the west's interests, and what Putin (and China) would like to see.

So I'm not surprised if Biden is more heavily critisized in China and Russia than Trump was.
