Given the dismal track record of regime change brought about by Western intervention, pretty sure the Chinese people have similar sentiments towards the US regime.
Well, that's the point. Regime change can come about by the people themselves doing the changing. if the Chinese people back what their government is doing, then that's even more reason for the west to not have a desire for better relations with them. China, North Korea and Iran (as well as tacit approval by some African regimes) are directly helping Russia in it's genocidal and criminal assault on the Ukrainian people. With their continued poor record on respecting human rights, China as well as Russia don't merit our cooperation with them in space and other areas.
