It's true, we're way less poplular here in the US as well, which is, of course because we ARE actually part of the World.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They'll claim it as a victory that Trump's winning because they're all mad they can't take advantage of the US anymore.
Can confirm
As a European, looking at that map is really really REALLY depressing!!
I'm a bit surprised to see China is more popular than USA in so many European countries including my own.
I don't think that's really the case if people thought more about it, it's the immediate reaction of feeling betrayed by a friend and ally.
But if USA continue their current hostile policies against Europe and the world, and continue on their path towards fascism, of course China can be seen as the lesser evil.
One thing is for sure, the old relationship with USA is ruined, and there is very little chance EU will go back to be as pro American as we used to be.
This is a HUGE loss on both sides, we should have stood together to protect democracy, and to balance out China, that will soon be a global economic force never before seen.
But Instead USA chose to attack every ally they have, and alienate them beyond repair. Hopefully China will be a graceful superpower, when there is nobody to counter them.
USA needs to turn around super fast, and make it clear that the MAGA crowd is out politically for good.
Because democracies like USA and Europe and other allies need to strengthen alliances rather than weakening them. And we need to stand more for the values of democracy instead of breaking them down.
If we don't, China and BRICS will dictate the terms in the future, and the world will devolve into an authoritarian hell.
