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 the attempted coup in Washington has affected how people view the US. I hear of shock and sadness mainly--from students here in France, and friends in the Czech Republic 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 some schadenfreude too. My Chinese students are pretty matter-of-fact, they don't seem shocked or worried.
