Negative views of China remain near record highs across the developed world, according to the latest Pew survey, as higher marks for Beijing’s handling of the coronavirus were offset by concerns about its human rights record. Majorities in 15 of the 17 advanced economies surveyed this year by the Pew Research Center hold an unfavorable opinion of China, including record highs in Canada, Germany, South Korea and the U.S. Some 76% of Americans said they viewed the world’s most populous nation unfavorably in February, up three percentage points from last year. The percentage of people with a negative outlook on China was even higher in places such as Japan (88%), Sweden (80%), Australia (78%) and South Korea (77%) all countries that have had high-profile diplomatic disputes with Beijing in recent years. Only Greece and Singapore have mostly favorable views toward the country.

I spend a fair bit of time looking at what I call anti-gun studies. For them to be labeled as such, they not just have to have a finding that somehow works against the Second Amendment, but for there to also be some degree of shenanigans in how the data was obtained or presented.
A simple finding that is inconvenient doesn’t make a study anti-gun. True science involves going where the facts may lead, even if you don’t like the direction that happens to take. I can accept that sometimes, the answer isn’t what I’d like for it to be.
