Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the majority in each nation view each other's government unfavorably.

Right, and in the case of the Chinese, they didn't choose theirs, so it's pretty shitty of us to hold the Chinese people accountable for their government, while Americans are pretty much to blame for being ignorant about/allowing the evil the US government does in their name.
