We form opinions and feelings about places we've never visited. I get the sense that much of the vitriol directed at the current international villains e.g. Russia, China, North Korea comes from a place of ignorance and is shaped by news media.
IDK, I have personal reasons to hate both the Russian and Chinese government.
I still like to meet Chinese and Russian people, and usually find that we have more in common than not.
