American media has this weird thing where they need to trivialize every single Chinese accomplishment. Every report of economic growth is followed by some "economic 'expert'" talking about how the Chinese economy is on the verge of collapse (and has been for about 70 years now), tech and medical breakthroughs are followed by rumors of corporate espionage and stealing technology, and everything is swept aside as a "big whoop".
A lot of it reeks of jealousy. I can very much understand not liking China's government, but a lot of great things are being done by Chinese people.
