I say small because of their own 2025 analysis. Their sphere of influence has taken a massive hit from China’s BRI, the amount of trust downfall from running away from Afghanistan, the treatment of non-Anglo refugees from Ukraine at Poland borders and the cruel Russophobia. Overwhelming support of Nazis (and Nazism in UN voting) against Russia and the blatant news propaganda has also resulted in doubts over western media as a whole amongst many people.
There is also that people got tired of COVID news fearmongering and no socialising, where western companies were already shilling boosters to make up for lost money from pandemic, regardless of it weakening immunity of people to critical levels. The combination of people’s declining mental health (monthly new variant!!! death chaos et al) and then declining physical health via 3rd dose (we have never had 2 vaccine doses within a year in history outside of Anthrax I think) has caused many people to turn off the TV and internet news.
It is surprising to me that Sinophobia was acceptable, and it took a chain reaction of all of the above to trigger whatever people it did.
