Except for Japan. Internet is full of weebs.
Typical reddit conversation:
*shows a pic of a random street in Japan* -  :
"no wait that looks like Korea" - 
"actually pic is from China" -

Tbf, it says reputation, which would be based on the sampled population's perception of them, not factually whether XYZ is good.
I don't think it's surprising that many people around the globe don't think kindly of them regardless of how technologically advanced they are or how great life is in the big cities. Communism, oppression, state and media control, censorship, Taiwan, Hong Kong, bullying neighbors in East China Sea and blocking water supply to South East Asian countries.

Also Chinese, specifically Mainland Chinese tourists have for years been not well liked so a ton of the reputation probably comes from this. There aren't a ton of places in this world like Vancouver where if you asked what do I think of Chinese people do they have the knowledge and experience to think about it simply beyond Mainlanders, there's Hong Kongers, locally born in our case CBC's just to name a few.
I know IG and comment sections are far from reliable but anytime I come across Chinese Tourists not being in Japan posts the claims are the Japanese are absolutely loving it and the comment sections are 95% hate and racists towards Chinese. Plus the Chinese in a ton of media outlets regardless if you believe or not has always just been painted as shit anyway.

Speaking of that chart and hong kong, it seems democracy died pretty quickly after the protests and a bunch of arrests. Did the population just accept the status quo or will there be another mass exodus to vancouver in 2047?

There already has been a mass exodus between 2020-2024. I went to the HK Museum of History (and Science, next building) in August. They had a whole exhibition on the protests with the view point of it destroying HK's economy, the chaos, and China #1. Here's some pics. They mark silencing the public as a "glorious moment of pride in history" - "Promulgation & Implementation of Hong Kong National Security Law" followed by "National Security Education Day of the HKSAR"

People took covid very seriously in HK due to previous experience with SARS, so the movement died during covid. The gov't underhandedly took advantage of the situation and made it harder and harder to protest, and some of the very high profile cases and crackdowns just at the end I think broke the will.
If you are in Richmond or Metrotown, you can see A LOT of recent immigrants from HK. They dress different, they talk different. I'm not sure how many of those are true immigrants or just non residents moving back. We know a few friends who had moved to HK for work who had moved back.
The typical choice it seems is to move to US/Canada as the No1 choice. Next is Australia/NZ, then Singapore, then Taiwan/Japan. For those who have parents with BNO, they have the option to move to the UK. It's not talked about much in the news, though you do see inklings of population decline in HK. The biggest signal is the RE crash. Prices are down at least 20% across the board. It's still expensive AF, but the crash has been noticeable as people sell and leave. It leaves a massive gap in the HK economy as people who have the ability to leave are the ones that made money and drove the economy. The trickle down of that income to the lower classes are noticable as the service economy has taken a hit.

This is perhaps anecdotal but there seems to be a resurgence in HK cafes in Toronto and in Los Angeles. These cafes are pushing hard to maintain their cultural identify with all kinds of nostalgic lap sap and staff speak Cantonese.

It's the same here in Vancouver, there's been an overall decline of HK cafes in Vancouver in the last 15 years as the mix of Chinese people skewed towards more mainlanders. The spread has come back towards HK though. The drive has been strongly in food courts though and less sit down restaurants.

When I think of Vancouver, what comes to mind is the number of hot pot restaurants. I don't understand what the big deal is.

Seeing an increase in canto heard around town the last year or so. A lot more of the young parents we see at school are HKers.
Also, the last few times I was at T&T, hearing DLLM,SPK loudly thrown around casually has increased.
