They sure need it, because their public perception is still pretty bad

Their public perception is being normalised. Russia, Israel, USA... all doing shit that China has been demonised over for decades.

They arent getting better, their peers are being revealed as no better.

Their peers are getting worse. Pretending it's always been this bad is pro-fascist disinformation.

Some cases yes, some cases they are just being more blatant about it. Either way I think we can agree that the publicly percieved gap is definitely narrowing.
