10 years on, with growing confidence, China’s Gen-Z finds the West no longer attractive: GT surveys
the people who "look down on the West" have increased to 41.7 percent

Opinions of the US have definitely gone down quite a bit with Gen z around the world. Europe, on the other hand, still has a mostly positive image. I don't think the Global South should look down on the West as much as they should stop blindly worshipping them and copying everything they do.
Edit: I meant to say Europe has a positive image with those from the Global South. I was one of them for the longest time. Hated the US for its explicit war-mongering and saw Europe as the more peaceful alternative to what the US was. They have great PR and it's even more impressive that they're able to do it without the media apparatus that the US has.
