recent years, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2023\/11\/06\/how-views-of-the-us-china-and-their-leaders-have-changed-over-time\/\">views of the United States and China<\/a> have changed a lot. This year, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/international-views-of-biden-and-u-s-largely-positive\/\">the U.S. is largely viewed positively<\/a> in the 24 countries we surveyed. At the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/07\/27\/chinas-approach-to-foreign-policy-gets-largely-negative-reviews-in-24-country-survey\/\">China is seen much more negatively<\/a> \u2013 especially in high-income countries. But favorability does not tell the whole story. Both countries are seen positively in some ways and negatively in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Based on surveys conducted in 24 countries, we examine how the U.S. and China stack up to one another on more than 10 different measures, spanning from confidence in their leaders to views of their universities and technological achievements. We focus on the <em>difference<\/em> in how people see the two superpowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-3 wp-block-paragraph\">Take one aspect of foreign policy as an example. In Greece, 93% say the U.S. interferes in the affairs of other countries, compared with 56% who say the same for China, for a difference of 37 percentage points. The Greek flag is therefore plotted farther to the left, closer to the U.S. end of the scale, at 37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-4 wp-block-paragraph\">Australians, though, see little difference between the superpowers and consider both the U.S. (79%) and China (77%) to be interventionist powers. The Australian flag is therefore plotted at 2, close to the midpoint, which represents no difference in ratings of the two countries on this measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-5 wp-block-paragraph\">Across all 24 countries surveyed, we see that while majorities in most countries see both the U.S. and China as prone to interfering in the affairs of other countries, the U.S. is almost always more likely to be described this way. All of the flags are thus generally to the left of the midpoint and closer to the U.S. end. These metrics can be viewed for each country by hovering over that country\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-6 wp-block-paragraph\">Ratings of whether the U.S. and China take each country\u2019s interests into account paints a somewhat different picture. Most flags are still to the left of the midpoint \u2013 and closer to the U.S. end \u2013 because more people across countries say the U.S. accounts for their country\u2019s interests than China. But the flags are more spread out across the scale because publics feel quite differently from one another about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-7 wp-block-paragraph\">We can also see differences between middle- and high-income countries.[1. Income groups are <a href=\"https:\/\/datahelpdesk.worldbank.org\/knowledgebase\/articles\/906519-world-bank-country-and-lending-groups\">determined by the World Bank<\/a>, and includes both lower- and upper-middle income countries. Lower-middle income countries are those with a gross national income (GNI) per capita between $1,136 and $4,465, and upper-middle income economies are those with a GNI per capita between $4,466 and $13,845. High-income countries are those with a GNI per capita of $13,846 or more.] Selecting <em>middle-income countries<\/em> on the bottom right of the graphic shows that middle-income countries are mostly clustered together around the midpoint of the scale and that they evaluate the U.S. and China similarly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-8 wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, selecting <em>high-income countries<\/em> shows that they are clustered together on the left, giving higher ratings to the U.S. than China when it comes to accounting for other countries\u2019 interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"scene-9 wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. also gets higher marks for contributing to global peace and stability than China does, and the differences in evaluations are often 30 points or more. The difference is greatest in Japan, where 79% say the U.S. contributes at least a fair amount to international stability and just 14% say the same of China \u2013 a difference of 65 points. While still large in many countries, differences are smaller in many middle-income countries. And in Indonesia and Hungary, U.S. and Chinese contributions to global peace and stability are seen in a similar light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull pull-up has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-39984fe8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-640-wide pull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f965a3ec wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-callout has-white-background-color has-border-color has-gray-light-border-color has-ui-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For more on international views of the U.S., read \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/international-views-of-biden-and-u-s-largely-positive\/\">International Views of Biden and U.S. Largely Positive<\/a>,\u201d and for more on international views of China, read \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/07\/27\/chinas-approach-to-foreign-policy-gets-largely-negative-reviews-in-24-country-survey\/\">China\u2019s Approach to Foreign Policy Gets Largely Negative Reviews in 24-Country Survey<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the charts above show, views of China and the U.S. vary a lot among the 24 countries surveyed.

For example, 83% of Spaniards say American technology is above average or the best, compared with 82% who say the same for China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seven publics give U.S. technology more positive ratings. Among them, Israelis and South Koreans stand out for their favorable evaluations of American technology relative to Chinese technology; this is driven by Israelis\u2019 high ratings of American technology and South Koreans\u2019 low ratings of Chinese technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s technology is seen more positively in 10 countries, including in the U.S. Technological achievements are the only measure where Americans see China outpacing the U.S. About two-thirds of American adults (66%) say China\u2019s technology is above average or the best, compared with 56% who say the same about their own country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is little distinction between middle- and high-income countries\u2019 ratings of either country\u2019s technology, but some regional patterns do emerge.

Differences greater than 60 points in favor of the U.S. are also seen among the Dutch, Italians, Poles and Swedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sub-Saharan African publics surveyed offer the highest praise for Chinese entertainment, especially in Nigeria, where 67% say it is the best or above average. Even so, each public gives U.S. entertainment higher ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n<nav style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation is-horizontal is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-navigation-is-layout-f91bb3a6 wp-block-navigation-is-layout-flex\" aria-label=\"Navigation 20\"><ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation__container items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation\"><li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size: 14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"#compare-u-s-and-china-by\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">BACK TO TOP<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-39984fe8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h2 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;american-and-chinese-universities&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-serif-font-family\" id=\"american-and-chinese-universities\">American and Chinese universities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-alt-color has-text-color has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Difference in shares who say U.S. and Chinese <strong>universities are above average or the best<\/strong> compared with other wealthy nations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"graphic-insert-7\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-640-wide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-05-29\/xi-seeks-to-upgrade-china-s-education-system-boost-global-sway#xj4y7vzkg\">bolstering China\u2019s education system<\/a> to spread its global influence and create a \u201c\u2018Study in China\u2019 brand.\u201d Currently, out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeshighereducation.com\/world-university-rankings\/2023\/world-ranking\">the top 100 universities in the world<\/a>, as rated by the Times Higher Education, only seven are in China, whereas 34 are in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This disparity is reflected in views of the two countries\u2019 universities. Across the 24 countries surveyed, a median of 68% say U.S. universities are above average or the best, while just 35% say the same of China\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Universities in the U.S. receive significantly more positive ratings than universities in China in all countries surveyed. Middle-income countries give both countries\u2019 universities some of the most favorable evaluations, but the gap in the ratings of the two are similar to the gaps seen in high-income countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe is home to some of the largest differences as well as the smallest. Poles, Greeks and Hungarians are at least 40 points more likely to say American universities are above average or the best than Chinese universities. The differences are much smaller \u2013 in large part due to less positive outlooks on American universities \u2013 in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the U.S. has one of the least positive perceptions of American universities, along with several other advanced economies. About half in each saying American universities are the best or above average.<\/p>\n\n\n<nav style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation is-horizontal is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-navigation-is-layout-f91bb3a6 wp-block-navigation-is-layout-flex\" aria-label=\"Navigation 21\"><ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation__container items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation\"><li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size: 14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"#compare-u-s-and-china-by\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">BACK TO TOP<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-39984fe8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h2 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;american-and-chinese-standards-of-living&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-serif-font-family\" id=\"american-and-chinese-standards-of-living\">American and Chinese standards of living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-alt-color has-text-color has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Difference in shares who say U.S. and Chinese <strong>standards of living are above average or the best<\/strong> compared with other wealthy nations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"graphic-insert-8\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-640-wide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2021, both the U.S. and China fall above the world average on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hdr.undp.org\/data-center\/human-development-index#\/indicies\/HDI\">United Nations&#8217; Human Development Index<\/a>, but the U.S. is considered a <em>very <\/em>high human development country while China is labeled a high human development country. The difference is reflected in international ratings of the two countries\u2019 standards of living. Though ratings of both vary greatly, greater shares say the standard of living in the U.S. is above average or the best in every country surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israelis and Poles stand out for holding particularly skewed views of each country\u2019s standard of living, in favor of the U.S. In Israel and Poland, roughly eight-in-ten regard the standard of living in the U.S. in high regard, while 9% and 19% say the same of China, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In several high-income countries, ratings of the standard of living are low for both the U.S. and China. For example, just 16% of Germans see the standard of living in the U.S. as above average or the best and 8% say the same of China. In comparison, middle-income countries offer some of the most positive evaluations of the standards of living in the two economic powerhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n<nav style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation is-horizontal is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-navigation-is-layout-f91bb3a6 wp-block-navigation-is-layout-flex\" aria-label=\"Navigation 22\"><ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation__container items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation\"><li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size: 14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"#compare-u-s-and-china-by\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">BACK TO TOP<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-39984fe8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h2 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;respect-for-personal-freedoms&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-serif-font-family\" id=\"respect-for-personal-freedoms\">Respect for personal freedoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-alt-color has-text-color has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Difference in shares who say the U.S. and China <strong>respect the personal freedoms of their people<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"graphic-insert-9\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-640-wide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. is generally considered by experts to be more democratic than China.

The U.S. government was seen as more respectful of its people\u2019s personal freedoms than China\u2019s even as it received increasingly negative ratings between 2013 and 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021, the differences between ratings of the United States\u2019 and China\u2019s treatment of personal freedoms were especially pronounced in South Korea and Taiwan. In both, roughly three-quarters said the U.S. respects its people\u2019s personal freedoms compared with only about one-in-ten who said the same for China. Differences of about 50 percentage points or more were also measured across most of Europe. Conversely, Singapore stood out for having the smallest difference and being the most likely to consider China respectful of its people\u2019s personal freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n<nav style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation is-horizontal is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-navigation-is-layout-f91bb3a6 wp-block-navigation-is-layout-flex\" aria-label=\"Navigation 23\"><ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation__container items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation\"><li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size: 14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"#compare-u-s-and-china-by\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">BACK TO TOP<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-39984fe8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h2 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;confidence-in-the-american-and-chinese-presidents&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-serif-font-family\" id=\"confidence-in-the-american-and-chinese-presidents\">Confidence in the American and Chinese presidents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-alt-color has-text-color has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Difference in shares who say they have<strong> confidence<\/strong> in U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping to do the right thing regarding world affairs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"graphic-insert-10\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-640-wide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to leaders, global publics are nearly three times more likely to have confidence in U.S. President Joe Biden than in Chinese President Xi Jinping (medians across 23 countries, not including the U.S., of 54% and 19%, respectively). Each country surveyed is more likely to have confidence in Biden than Xi, but this has not always been the case for ratings of the U.S. president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap in confidence ratings of the U.S. president and the Chinese president has <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2023\/11\/06\/how-views-of-the-us-china-and-their-leaders-have-changed-over-time\/\">shifted greatly in the last 10 years<\/a> with each American leader. Views of the two leaders were most similar in several countries when former President Donald Trump held office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views of Biden and Xi differ across high- and middle-income countries. Those in middle-income countries are more likely to rate Biden and Xi similarly. For example, 71% of Nigerians have confidence in Biden, while 62% say the same of Xi &#8211; a 9-point difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In high-income countries, the gap tends to be much larger \u2013 especially in parts of Europe, including Poland and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many places, though, respondents are less likely to offer an opinion on Xi than Biden. For example, in Hungary, 24% of respondents said they did not know the answer or declined to answer when asked about their confidence in Xi, while only 6% responded similarly when asked about Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n<nav style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation is-horizontal is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-navigation-is-layout-f91bb3a6 wp-block-navigation-is-layout-flex\" aria-label=\"Navigation 24\"><ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation__container items-justified-right is-style-pills wp-block-navigation\"><li style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size: 14px\" class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"#compare-u-s-and-china-by\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">BACK TO TOP<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;about-this-essay&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-serif-font-family\" id=\"about-this-essay\">About this essay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Pew Research Center essay was made possible by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
