Average Chinese sentiment is pretty negative on how the West has handled COVID, probably rightfully so. Chinese mass media has just played up how CCP is keeping them safe (eg, Beijing outbreak contained quickly and safely) while highlighting the US's rising case, death numbers, etc. Similarly there was a lot of focus on the BLM protests from the perspective that US police are brutal, US race relations are unfair, and portraying US looting and lawlessness.

Most "average" Chinese are pretty heavily influenced by the CCTV media bubble, so fairly nationalist, and see western criticisms as unfair/racism/jealousy over China's growth.

I think this trend has been ongoing in the last decade of growth and propaganda, and the COVID situation has accelerated this idea of western leadership decline (particularly the US) and effectiveness of the Chinese model.
