In your view, have recent events changed the way people around the world view your country? If so, can you give any examples?

Yes of course<strong> the attempted coup in Washington has affected how people view the US.</strong> I hear of<strong> shock and sadness mainly--from students here in France, and friends in the Czech Republic</strong> who can't believe what they are seeing, given their experience with communism and how the American presence felt so strong after the Velvet Revolution.There's<strong> some schadenfreude</strong> too.<strong> My Chinese students are pretty matter-of-fact,</strong> they don't seem shocked or worried.
