The report explores views of China\u2019s role in the world, including as an economic power, and perceptions of Chinese soft power. This is the first year since 2019 that the Global Attitudes Survey has included countries from Africa and Latin America, which were not included more recently due to <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/04\/30\/the-coronavirus-pandemics-impact-on-pew-research-centers-global-polling\/\">the coronavirus outbreak<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For non-U.S. data, this report draws on nationally representative surveys of 27,285 adults conducted from Feb. 20 to May 22, 2023. All surveys were conducted over the phone with adults in Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Surveys were conducted face to face in Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Poland and South Africa. In Australia, we used a mixed-mode probability-based online panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, we surveyed 3,576 U.S. adults from March 20 to 26, 2023. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

Despite several high-profile diplomatic initiatives by Beijing over the past year \u2013 such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/03\/11\/us\/politics\/saudi-arabia-iran-china-biden.html\">brokering a peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran<\/a> and issuing a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-politics-government-xi-jinping-antony-blinken-2f6774b18fab3d32a46c93120d83db03\">12-point proposal for the end of violence in Ukraine<\/a> \u2013 a median of 71% think China does not contribute to global peace and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people also think China does not take into account the interests of other countries in its foreign policy (76%) and a median of 57% say China interferes in the affairs of other nations a great deal or fair amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, attitudes toward China are somewhat rosier in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/country\/mic\/overview\">middle-income<\/a> than high-income countries. Across eight middle-income countries \u2013 places Pew Research Center has not surveyed since 2019 due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/04\/30\/the-coronavirus-pandemics-impact-on-pew-research-centers-global-polling\/\">challenges of conducting face-to-face interviews<\/a> during the pandemic \u2013 India stands out as the only middle-income country in which a majority has unfavorable views of China.

Indeed, publics in these middle-income countries offer relatively favorable ratings for China\u2019s entertainment products, its universities and its standard of living \u2013 while few in most high-income countries agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across all 24 countries surveyed, however, there is more agreement about China\u2019s technology. A median of 69% describe China\u2019s technological achievements as the best or above average relative to other wealthy nations, with similar shares in high- and middle-income countries. A median of 54% also see China\u2019s military as among the best in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But views of the country as the world\u2019s foremost economic power have faltered somewhat in recent years. More people <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/perceptions-of-global-economic-power\/\">now name the United States as the top economic power than China<\/a> (a median of 42% vs. 33%, respectively). Much of this shift has come in high-income countries, where the share naming China has fallen in nearly every surveyed country \u2013 including by double digits in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the U.S., where equal shares (43%) called China and the U.S. the world\u2019s leading economic power in 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/04\/12\/americans-are-critical-of-chinas-global-role-as-well-as-its-relationship-with-russia\/#americans-no-longer-see-china-as-the-world-s-leading-economy-but-still-see-its-economic-strength-as-a-problem-for-the-u-s\">views have shifted significantly over the past year<\/a>; now, Americans are 10 percentage points more likely to name the U.S. than China (48% vs. 38%).

Below are some of the other findings regarding China\u2019s overall image, views of Chinese foreign policy, ratings of President Xi Jinping, opinions about Chinese soft power and its economic power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overall-ratings-for-china\">Overall ratings for China<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across many high-income countries surveyed, which are in North America, Western Europe and parts of the Asia-Pacific region, a large majority has unfavorable views of China, as has <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2022\/09\/28\/how-global-public-opinion-of-china-has-shifted-in-the-xi-era\/\">been the case for multiple years<\/a>. Indeed, in almost every high-income country surveyed, negative views currently stand at or near historic highs. In most countries, this does not reflect a significant increase over last year; rather, negative views have simply remained high in recent years. One notable exception is Poland, where negative views have increased 12 points during a <a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2022\/10\/china-poland-relations-amid-the-ukraine-war\/\">period of strained bilateral relations<\/a>, perhaps related to China\u2019s handling of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34795\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/07\/27\/chinas-approach-to-foreign-policy-gets-largely-negative-reviews-in-24-country-survey\/pg_2023-07-27_views-of-china_0-03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"edeeed\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #edeeed;\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-03.png?resize=480,515 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-03.png?resize=782,838 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-03.png?resize=960,1029 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-03.png?resize=1200,1286 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-03.png?resize=1280,1372 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-03.png\" alt=\"Record high negative ratings for China in most countries surveyed\" class=\"wp-image-34795 not-transparent\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views of China in middle-income countries are relatively more positive. Still, negative ratings in most of these countries have also grown since the countries were last surveyed, pre-pandemic. In South Africa and Mexico, for example, opinions have turned somewhat more negative since 2019, and in Argentina, Brazil and India, negative views have even reached historic highs. In India, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-53062484\">military conflicts along a contested border<\/a> may have contributed to the 21 percentage point increase in unfavorable opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"chinas-role-on-the-world-stage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">China\u2019s role on the world stage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Majorities in most countries do not think China takes into account the interests of countries like theirs. In Canada, France, Israel, Spain and Sweden, around half or more say China doesn\u2019t consider them <em>at all<\/em>. Only in the three sub-Saharan African countries surveyed, as well as in Indonesia, does around half or more of the public feel like China listens to their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A median of 71% also think China does little or nothing at all to contribute to global peace and stability, compared with a median of 23% who say it is doing a great deal or a fair amount. Australians, Canadians, Indians, Israelis and South Koreans are particularly likely to say China is doing <em>nothing at all<\/em> to help with global peace and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most also see China as an interventionist power. A median of 57% say China does interfere a great deal or a fair amount in the affairs of other countries, while a median of 35% say it does not do so much or at all. Around seven-in-ten or more in Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Spain and the U.S. see China getting involved in the affairs of other countries \u2013 and many of these places also stood out for the high share who said China\u2019s involvement in domestic politics in their own country was a very serious problem in a <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2022\/06\/29\/negative-views-of-china-tied-to-critical-views-of-its-policies-on-human-rights\/\">2022 Pew Research Center survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the country which is most likely to see China interfering in the affairs of other countries in this year\u2019s survey is Italy (82%). Italy, which was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/italy-china-xi-jinping-belt-and-road-building-megaplan-infrastructure\/\">only G7 country to join China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)<\/a>, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/05\/01\/italy-is-thinking-about-whether-to-quit-china-belt-and-road-initiative.html\">debating leaving the initiative<\/a> at the time that the survey was conducted, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20230517-italy-treading-carefully-on-china-s-belt-and-road\">treading delicately<\/a> for fear of stoking possible Chinese retribution against Italian businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"attitudes-toward-xi\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attitudes toward Xi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few in the 24 countries surveyed have confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping to do the right thing regarding world affairs. Across most of Western Europe, the U.S., Canada and much of the Asia-Pacific region, around half in each country say they have no confidence in him <em>at all<\/em>. Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa stand out as the only countries where a majority or plurality have confidence in his leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Confidence in Xi is closely related to views of China more broadly. In each country surveyed people with unfavorable views of China are more likely to have little confidence in the Chinese president, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34800\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/07\/27\/chinas-approach-to-foreign-policy-gets-largely-negative-reviews-in-24-country-survey\/pg_2023-07-27_views-of-china_0-04-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f6f6f6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f6f6f6;\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-04.png?resize=480,410 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-04.png?resize=782,668 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-04.png?resize=960,821 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-04.png?resize=1200,1026 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-04.png?resize=1280,1094 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-04.png\" alt=\"Countries with more negative views of China also have less confidence in Xi\" class=\"wp-image-34800 not-transparent\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"chinese-soft-power\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chinese soft power<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34804\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/07\/27\/chinas-approach-to-foreign-policy-gets-largely-negative-reviews-in-24-country-survey\/pg_2023-07-27_views-of-china_0-05-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efefea\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efefea;\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-05.png?resize=480,414 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-05.png?resize=782,674 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-05.png?resize=840,724 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/PG_2023.07.27_views-of-china_0-05.png\" alt=\"A bar chart showing China\u2019s technological advancements are seen as the best or above average compared with other wealthy nations, followed by military power\" class=\"wp-image-34804 not-transparent\" width=\"420\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to elements often considered part of a country\u2019s \u201csoft power,\u201d China\u2019s technological achievements receive high marks, though fewer say the same about its universities, entertainment products or standard of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, outside of South Korea, nearly half or more in every country say Chinese technological advancements are the best in the world or above average relative to other wealthy nations. And in many of the middle-income countries, around four-in-ten call Chinese technology the best in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Middle-income countries \u2013 many of which are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/africa-embraces-huawei-technology-despite-security-concerns\/a-60665700\">increasingly reliant on Chinese companies like Huawei for components of their 4G and 5G systems<\/a> \u2013 were also asked specifically about technology such as phones, tablets or computers made by Chinese companies. Across these eight countries, there is a relatively widespread sense that these products are well-made. Middle-income publics are more divided when it comes to their cost: A median of 50% describe them as inexpensive, while 44% call them costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are also somewhat divided when it comes to whether technological products made by Chinese companies protect people\u2019s personal data (a median of 45%) or make their data unsafe (40%). (Americans were asked <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2023\/03\/31\/by-a-more-than-two-to-one-margin-americans-support-us-government-banning-tiktok\/\">a different but related question<\/a> about Chinese social media companies; <em>large<\/em> majorities have little confidence that they will use personal information responsibly or follow privacy policies.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In every country, at least a plurality \u2013 and often a majority \u2013 also see China\u2019s \u201chard power,\u201d its military, as one of the best in the world or above average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"chinese-economic-power\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chinese economic power<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fewer name China as the world\u2019s leading economic power than the U.S. (a median of 33% vs. 42%).

Italy, for example, is the only country where a majority (55%) calls China the leading economic power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, people in middle-income countries do recognize economic benefits from their relations with China. A different survey question, asked only in these countries, finds that around half or more in six middle-income countries say their nation\u2019s economy has benefited a great deal or a fair amount from Chinese investment. In Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa, around seven-in-ten or more say this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the U.S., Americans were also asked to name the country which poses the top threat to the U.S. Not only was China the top answer, by far, but Americans see it as both an economic and a national security threat \u2013 in sharp contrast to Russia, which is primarily seen as a security threat.
