Look at all those not market related bubbles
I do agree that it's a false hope, but I do not agree that people don't prefer it. There are plenty of pro-russian parties here and people like them, they like the idea of change. It is misguided and basically stupid but....
About pro-china there aren't as much political movements, but the sentiment is swaying. China is giving people jobs here by building factories and is also giving them cheap goods.
And you may say that the polling numbers are still pro-west but that is because the turnout is abysmal is the whole region.
Beijing is also driving wedges in the transatlantic community by cultivating poorer countries in southeastern Europe that sometimes have illiberal governments.
Poorer countries do not just exist in southeastern Europe, they are made. When you are mistreated and exploited by the west for so long who wouldn't prefer the alternative.
It is a shit alternative, but I see the appeal, and I see the stance on China and Russia change around me as we speak.
You have a point, maybe victim blaming is more accurate.
It's more like a dependency of a dependency doesn't and that breaks all relying systems.
