From what I’ve seen, some people seem to take it at face value. I think the main thing is just the average person not paying that much attention to US politics. Some people just like him because he’s (objectively) funny. There are definitely people who see through it, but those who do also tend to see through the Democrats’ shit and come out ambivalent. Many people oppose immigration in China (their situation is somewhat different) and aren’t very supportive of LGBT+ rights, so they don’t really fit into the camps of American politics.
I’ve heard there’s a right-wing media ecosystem for Chinese petite bourgeoisie ex-pats, and they exert outsized influence in mainland media about the rest of the world.
That’s an odd one to tell them. I wonder what the reasoning is for that
