At present, Uzbekistan-China relations have made great progress in the context of the pandemic, and bilateral trade and investment have grown rapidly, he said. The Uzbek president thanked China for providing timely support to Uzbekistan in fighting the pandemic. Mirziyoyev said his country is willing to take the opportunity of celebrating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries to formulate a new five-year cooperation plan with China to inject new impetus into bilateral cooperation. Link China-Uzbek relations began to pick up speed with the appointment of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2016. The significant market liberalization and economic reforms implemented by the new president have made the country one of the five fastest growing in the world, giving a boost to bilateral ties as China’s goals for regional development align with Uzbekistan’s economic ambitions. It has also made the country increasingly investor-friendly and more welcoming of Chinese investment than some of its neighbors. In 2020, Uzbekistan upped the number of visa-free days Chinese citizens could enjoy in the country from five to seven to facilitate travel and tourism in the country. The two countries have also deepened cultural exchange. Uzbekistan was the first country in the world to open a Confucius Institute, a Chinese language and cultural institution, and centers for the study of Uzbek language and culture have been set up in Chinese universities. Link As in the Karimov era, “multivectorism” remains a mantra in Tashkent, but Mirziyoyev recognizes China’s role in the future of Central Asia. It was the fourth country he visited during his first year’s flurry of international diplomacy, and in 2019, Uzbekistan’s Prime Minister referred to China as Uzbekistan’s “closest and most reliable partner”. According to the Uzbek Ministry of Finance’s “Budget for Citizens”, the state’s external debt to China amounted to $1.9 billion at the start of 2019, making Beijing Uzbekistan’s largest creditor – ahead of Japan, which owns $1.5 billion of Uzbekistan’s debt. The Ministry paper predicts a rise to $3 billion in 2020, but Uzbekistan, underleveraged and with growth potential, is not in too precarious a position. Link

Vice President Sara Duterte, Senator Imee Marcos (elder sister of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.) and Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba were among the personalities who have publicly expressed positive views of China. Therefore, this Indicator deserves a “Few” rating. Duterte recorded a video message in Mandarin that was played during an event marking the 74th Founding Anniversary of the People's Republic of China in Taguig City on Sept. 22, 2023. In a separate speech, she also expressed for more cooperation between the Philippines and China. She also met with various Chines officials in 2023 and posted positive messages about these meetings on her official Facebook page. Marcos, who chairs the Senate committee on foreign relations, have taken positions sympathetic of China, especially in the issue in the South China Sea. Mamba has made several positive remarks about China, most notably following his trip to Hangzhou and Huzhou cities in China in May 2023. With the prominence of Duterte, Marcos and Mamba, therefore, this Indicator deserves a “Significant” rating.

Recently, only a small number of British politicians have publicly maintained a positive view of the PRC. Among the exceptions are the former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Vince Cable, and Lord Peter Mandelson. Therefore, this Indicator deserves a 'Few' rating. Lord Mandelson's lobbying firm, Global Counsel, has organised meetings between senior Chinese government officials and UK business leaders. It included contributions from high-level multinational corporations, such as HSBC Chairman Mark Tucker, Prudential Chief Executive Mike Wells, and Rio Tinto Chairman Simon Thompson. Global Counsel also regularly engages with MPs. He has also repeatedly downplayed criticisms on China's human rights record to focus on deepening economic ties with China. Meanwhile, Cable is the former leader of the Liberal Democrats, third largest party in England. Therefore, this Indicator deserves a 'Significant' rating.

Former Prime Minister Paul Keating made it clear in an earlier interview that China's rise is not a challenge or threat to Australia. Instead, he criticizes the current government and its western allies. Bob Carr, the longest-serving Premier of New South Wales and a former Australian Foreign Affairs Minister, advocated for repairing relations with China and accepting China's stance about how Taiwan should be governed. Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews is actively seeking cooperation with China, stating that 'Our relationship with China is deeper than just trade – it’s a partnership built on respect, trust, and friendship, benefiting all Victorians in every sector.' These politicians are either individuals with high media exposure or current officials, so their impact can be considered significant.

Ilham Aliyev was interviewed by China Media Group media corporation: "I had the chance to meet President Xi Jinping many times in China, and also on the sidelines of international events. I have great respect for him. I always was impressed with his vision, his intelligence, openness, and deep awareness of bilateral relations between us.

The article highlights how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has emphasized the importance of maintaining a ""policy of openness"" towards China, particularly due to the economic benefits Hungary receives from Chinese investments, such as in the electric vehicle sector. This stance aligns with PRC talking points that promote the economic advantages of cooperation with China while downplaying or ignoring human rights issues.

They have done that but not out of the sense of admiration towards China but because the Vietnamese government is driven by the same ideology, the Vietnamese Communist party holds all the political power and human rights are being denied in Vietnam as well.

While no overt evidence exists of politicians or government employees echoing People's Republic of China (PRC) talking points, efforts to maintain positive relations persist. Politicians prioritize fostering a genuine 'Pauk-Phaw' (fraternal) relationship and upholding the One China Policy. The National Unity Government's foreign minister echoed PRC concerns regarding the rise in online gambling, drug, and human trafficking within Myanmar's territory, posing regional stability threats. Consequently, a task force was established to address these challenges, aiming for cooperation at both regional and international levels. Despite limitations, the task force focuses on prevention through education and information exchange to bolster regional cooperation and stability.

Many Argentine officials maintain stances that back the PRC, and often defend their country's relations with the PRC. However, it was difficult to find documentary evidence of officials echoing PRC talking points during the reporting period. Therefore, a definite answer to this indicator cannot be provided.
