Surveys: global opinions on China's risePosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 29, 2007 3:07 PM
Here is some data from two recent surveys about people's attitudes towards China's rise: UPI/Zogby Poll of American attitudes to China - 75% of respondents said China is top U.S. economic rival, with Japan coming in a distant second at 14% The survey, conducted nationwide from May 16-18, 2007, included 5,141 adult online respondents. You can read a full report on the survey on Zogby's website here.
From Newsweek [This survey was] conducted among 18 countries over the last year and ... finds that a majority of citizens in 8 of 14 countries surveyed expect that China will eventually catch up with the United States economically—and are utterly unconcerned by the prospect. Yet surprisingly, the survey also reveals that a majority or near majority of respondents in most countries don’t trust China to act responsibly beyond its borders. China’s score on trustworthiness is virtually the same as that of the United States, which has seen its popularity slide precipitously since the 1990s. Some of the results are below. It's interesting that the French respondents, whose government makes far fewer noises about China's rise than that of the U.S., seem to fear China the most, while respondents in Israel, usually accused of being too close to the U.S., seem more confident of China than the U.S. when it comes to acting responsibly. Do You Trust the United States to Act Responsibly in the World? No Do You Trust China to Act Responsibly in the World? No Yes The Newsweek article, which includes the results of other questions in the survey, is here. The survey is also on Worldpublicopinion.org's site. Comments on Surveys: global opinions on China's riseIn this regard, NPR has put on an interesting debate on "A Booming China Spells Trouble for America." The data quoted above conflicts with the data in the cited and linked Newsweek article. Above you indicate the following response: "Do You Trust the United States to Act Responsibly in the World? No but the Newsweek article indicates states the following: Yes (Percentage of Respondents Who Answered "Yes, Somewhat" and "Yes, A Great Deal") |
