China Overtakes the US in Global Image, Pew Survey Finds

A Pew Research Center survey of over 42,000 people in 36 countries finds China is viewed more favorably than the United States in 25 countries—the first time Pew has recorded this—driven by rising positive views of China and declining views of the US. Confidence in Xi Jinping remains higher than in Donald Trump across many places, though both leaders score low. Six countries still favour the US (Poland, the Philippines, South Korea, India, Japan, Israel); the US is seen as more respectful of personal freedoms, but the gap is narrowing. China’s rising image is strongest in many middle-income countries and in places like Italy, Spain, Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Turkey, while Japan remains strongly anti-China. On foreign policy, about 75% say the US interferes abroad versus 45% for China.

Global Survey Shows US Preferred Over China in Majority of Countries

According to a survey by the Pew Research Centre, the US is viewed more favorably than China in 22 out of 24 countries, marking the largest margin since 2005. The study showed a significant increase in negative views towards Beijing, while America's image has improved under President Joe Biden. The survey also revealed that China's technology is viewed positively, but perceptions about the country are influenced by factors such as corruption levels and civil liberties. The results indicate a divided opinion on which nation leads the global economy, with the US edging out China in most countries. However, perspectives have shifted in recent years, and the data will need to be monitored in light of China's economic slowdown.

Global Survey Reveals Favorable Shift Towards US, Decline in China's Perception

Views of the United States and China vary significantly across 24 countries surveyed. While the U.S. is generally viewed more positively, especially in high-income countries, both countries are seen positively in some aspects and negatively in others. The U.S. is often perceived as more likely to interfere in the affairs of other countries, while China is seen as less interventionist. The U.S. is also considered the leading economic power and receives higher marks for contributing to global peace and stability. However, China's technology and entertainment industries receive positive ratings in some countries. Evaluations of universities, standards of living, respect for personal freedoms, and confidence in leaders also differ between the two countries.

"US Drops to Fifth Place in Global 'Best Country' Rankings"

Switzerland has claimed the top spot in the annual Best Countries rankings released by U.S. News and World Report, with the United States slipping from fourth to fifth place. Switzerland was praised for being "open for business" and scored high in entrepreneurship, cultural influence, and quality of life. Canada, Sweden, and Australia also ranked high on the list. The U.S. ranked first in entrepreneurship and power but fell behind in adventure and being "open for business." The rankings are based on a survey of over 17,000 people worldwide, and despite the slip, the U.S. benefits from more favorable opinions of President Joe Biden compared to former President Donald Trump.
