People know the U.S. better than almost any other country. The U.S. is very loud while China is rather quiet. And that‘s not from a lack of trying from China‘s side. It makes sense people feel stronger about someone so loud. Someone who had influenced the world so much with pop culture and politics.
Personally I still prefer the U.S. over China but that‘s a very low bar. As a European I want to be more independent from both.
