People tend to read and watch content that validates their existing narrative. Hence the high view counts of the China bashing videos, regardless of its quality. It's probably also the same effect in China with the anti-America videos getting high counts - people tend to prefer narratives externalizing problems.
You are not getting to see any anti-China videos within China, so anti-America videos is getting all the hits.
The possibility to even have America critical content in America is something real exceptional. People don't understand this, when they side with political systems that they don't understand due to their (righteous and necessary) criticism of Western civilization.
The entire (prior) industrial revolution also inculcated externalizing problems, the catharsis of manufacturing is all about externalizing problems. How many times have you seen cultural sentiment glorifying the factory line work/worker (which would otherwise be seen, in neutral light, as a soul crushing/mind-numbing job), but at the end of a hard day "it's miller time". All worries gone. Instant belonging. 300 rivets and you've earned your day. Entire middle class and lower middle class have been inculcated "you put in yer time, you have nothing to worry about at all beyond that". As if life's problems quit when you punch out. And yet the inculcation is there.
