Attitudes toward China"},"content":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27753\" alt=\"Balance of Power29\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power29.png\" width=\"408\" height=\"771\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China is viewed favorably in just half (19 of 38) of the nations surveyed excluding China itself. Beijing\u2019s strongest supporters are in Asia \u2013 in Malaysia (81%) and Pakistan (81%) \u2013 and in the African nations of Kenya (78%), Senegal (77%) and Nigeria (76%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a high positive opinion of China in Latin American nations that have become large commodity exporters to Beijing, such as Venezuela (71%), Brazil (65%) and Chile (62%). This favorable opinion toward the People\u2019s Republic is not shared everywhere, however. Only 28% of Germans and Italians and 37% of Americans hold a favorable view of China. But it is in Japan where, more than anywhere else, antipathy toward China is striking. Just 5% of Japanese have a favorable opinion of China.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has not been much change in views of China in most nations for which comparable 2007 survey data exist. The greatest improvements in China\u2019s image have been in Argentina, up 22 percentage points, and Uganda, up 14 points. The most significant deterioration in attitudes toward China has occurred in Japan, down 24 points, and Egypt, down 20 points over the past six years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in much of Europe and the United States, as well as parts of the Middle East, this six-year trend line masks a significant reversal of opinion since the peak of pro-China sentiment in those countries in 2011. In just the past two years, favorability toward China has fallen 14 percentage points in the United States, 11 points in Britain and 9 points in France. This is likely the result of unease about China as a commercial competitor, European frustration with Chinese unilateralism in foreign affairs, and American concern about the U.S. trade deficit with China and Beijing\u2019s holding of American debt. Over that same period, favorability of China is down 15 points in the Palestinian territories, 12 points in Egypt and 11 points in Israel, where frustration with Chinese unilateralism in international affairs may have a particularly corrosive effect.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, outright anti-China sentiment is limited. In 2013, in just 11 of the 38 nations surveyed is China actually viewed unfavorably by at least half of those surveyed. The strongest anti-China sentiment is in Japan, where 93% see the People\u2019s Republic in a negative light, including 48% of Japanese who have a <em>very<\/em> unfavorable view of China. There are also large majorities in Germany (64%), Italy (62%) and Israel (60%) who hold negative views of China. The rise in anti-China sentiment in Germany is particularly striking. In 2006, only 33% of Germans had an unfavorable view of China. Since then, negative sentiments have risen 31 percentage points. And such unfavorable views exist despite Germany\u2019s success exporting to China.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27754\" alt=\"Balance of Power28\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power28.png\" width=\"294\" height=\"237\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attitudes toward China also vary markedly by region of the world. A median of less than half of those surveyed in North America, Europe and the Middle East has a positive view of China. At the same time, a median of 72% in Africa and 58% in Asia and Latin America look favorably on China.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;a-partner-to-some-an-enemy-to-few&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"a-partner-to-some-an-enemy-to-few\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"enemy-partner\"><\/a>A Partner to Some, an Enemy to Few<\/h3>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27755\" alt=\"Balance of Power27\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power27.png\" width=\"293\" height=\"776\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half or more of those surveyed in 16 of 38 nations see China as more of a partner for their country than as an enemy. This is particularly the case in Pakistan (where 82% view China as a partner). Islamabad has been the recipient of a great deal of Chinese financial assistance over the years. In addition, Malaysians (78%) view China as a partner.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Publics in a number of African nations \u2013 including Senegal (78%), Kenya (77%), Nigeria (71%) and Ghana (70%) \u2013 are strongly of the view that China is a national partner. China is the second leading trading partner with Ghana and Kenya, the fourth leading trade partner with Nigeria and the fifth with Senegal. A similar sense of partnership exists in Venezuela (74%), which sells a great deal of oil to China, and Chile (62%), which sells Beijing copper.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A majority or plurality in 15 nations \u2013 including a majority in the United States (58%) \u2013 see China as neither a partner nor an enemy. And only in four nations \u2013 Japan (40%), the Philippines (39%), Italy (39%) and Turkey (36%) \u2013 does a significant minority view China as an enemy of their country.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;chinas-soft-power-limited&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"chinas-soft-power-limited\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">China\u2019s Soft Power: Limited<\/h3>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"f4f4f3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f4f4f3;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27756 not-transparent\" alt=\"Balance of Power26\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power26.png\" width=\"292\" height=\"378\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is evidence that China\u2019s global influence, at least as measured by some aspects of Chinese soft power, is respected, especially in Africa and among the young. In some cases, though, significant portions of those people surveyed voiced no opinion.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese scientific and technological advances are the most widely appreciated aspect of China\u2019s influence in both Africa (a median of 75% like such aspects of China) and Latin America (72%). On all other measures, Africans tend to have a more positive view toward Chinese soft power than Latin Americans. Africans (a median of 59%) are particularly appreciative of Chinese ways of doing business.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the spread of Chinese ideas and customs and Chinese cultural products \u2013 such as music, movies and television \u2013 lack majority appeal in both Africa and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27757\" alt=\"Balance of Power25\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power25.png\" width=\"187\" height=\"398\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Science and technology are China\u2019s most popular soft power. Majorities in all African and Latin American countries surveyed have a positive view of these attributes of Chinese influence. Fully 85% of Nigerians and 80% of Salvadorans and Venezuelans admire China\u2019s technological and scientific advances, as do 77% of Senegalese, and 75% of Ghanaians, Kenyans and Chileans.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several reasons why publics may admire Chinese scientific and technological success. It may be an appreciation of the great strides Chinese companies have made in branding products \u2013 such as Lenovo with computers and Huawei with mobile phones \u2013 or an understanding that many parts in laptops or tablets come from China or it may simply pick up a respect for more mundane made-in-China consumer products such as refrigerators and microwave ovens.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"e8ded3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e8ded3;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27758 not-transparent\" alt=\"Balance of Power24\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power24.png\" width=\"186\" height=\"386\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps in admiration of China\u2019s record of strong economic growth, perhaps because China has become a major trade and investment partner, or perhaps for other reasons, the Chinese way of doing business is particularly attractive to people in Africa. More than half of those surveyed in five of six countries admire China\u2019s business acumen. This includes 76% of Nigerians, 68% of Kenyans and 65% of Senegalese. Only South Africans are divided on Chinese business practices, with 43% liking them and 42% disliking them.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perceptions are different in Latin America, however, where in a number of countries a high proportion of people voice no opinion about China\u2019s way of doing business. Only in Venezuela (53%) does more than half the population admire Chinese business practices. This may be because China is Venezuela\u2019s second-largest export market, exceeded only by the United States. And by two-to-one, Chileans (48% to 24%) like Chinese business operations, possibly reflecting the fact that China is now Chile\u2019s main trading partner, buying nearly a quarter of Chile\u2019s exports. But such close business ties can cut both ways. China is Brazil\u2019s largest trading partner. Nevertheless, roughly half of Brazilians (51%) dislike China\u2019s way of doing business.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27759\" alt=\"Balance of Power23\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power23.png\" width=\"408\" height=\"369\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese pop culture is not well liked in much of either Africa or Latin America, in part because significant portions in seven of the 13 nations surveyed have no opinion. Of those who have a view, Chinese music, movies and television is disliked by majorities in six countries, including in Brazil (75%), Argentina (68%), El Salvador (61%) and South Africa (60%). Only in Nigeria (54%) do most people have an affinity for such Chinese exports.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In only three of the 13 countries surveyed in Africa and Latin America \u2013 in Senegal (62%), Nigeria (58%) and Kenya (54%) \u2013 do more than half think it is good that Chinese ideas and customs are spreading in their country. Half or more of those surveyed in eight nations \u2013 all countries surveyed in Latin America and one African country \u2013 think such Chinese influence is a bad thing, including in Ghana (60%), Brazil (58%) and Chile (57%).<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;chinas-appeal-to-young-adults&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"chinas-appeal-to-young-adults\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"china-young\"><\/a>China\u2019s Appeal to Young Adults<\/h3>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27760\" alt=\"Balance of Power22\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power22.png\" width=\"293\" height=\"415\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s greatest global asset in the future may be its appeal among young adults around the world.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 16 of the 38 nations surveyed, younger people are significantly more likely than older people to look favorably on China. This is true in North America, in six of the nine nations surveyed in Europe and five of the seven countries in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than three times as many young Turks as older Turks look favorably on China as do more than twice as many young Americans as older Americans. Fully 57% of those aged 18 to 29 in the United States have a positive opinion of China, compared with just 27% who hold such views among people aged 50 and older. In Poland the generational split is 59% to 35%, in Argentina 63% to 42%, in France 55% to 37%, and in Britain 58% to 42%. The pattern is reversed only in South Korea, where 58% of those aged 18 to 29 hold an unfavorable view of their neighbor, while 42% of people 50 years of age and older see China unfavorably.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27761\" alt=\"Balance of Power21\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power21.png\" width=\"293\" height=\"296\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain aspects of Chinese soft power seem to be particularly appealing to the young. In many African and Latin American nations, it is those aged 18 to 29 who most admire China\u2019s scientific and technological prowess. Eight-in-ten or more young adults in Nigeria, El Salvador, Venezuela, Senegal and Argentina see such advances as a positive attribute of Chinese soft power. The generation gap is particularly large in Bolivia (26 percentage points), but also in Argentina (19 points) and Brazil (16 points).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese pop culture fares better with the younger generation, as well. They are much more likely than older people, at least in some nations, to appreciate such Chinese soft power. <\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"f3f3f3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f3f3f3;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27762 not-transparent\" alt=\"Balance of Power20\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power20.png\" width=\"292\" height=\"240\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About half or more of those aged 18 to 29 in Nigeria (61%) and Ghana (51%) like Chinese music, movies and TV, as do large minorities of the young in Bolivia (44%) and Senegal (41%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the spread of Chinese ideas and customs has majority strong only among the young in Senegal (64%), Kenya (63%) and Nigeria (62%).<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;sources-of-criticism&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"sources-of-criticism\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources of Criticism<\/h3>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27763\" alt=\"Balance of Power19\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power19.png\" width=\"292\" height=\"780\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite China\u2019s general favorability around the world and its appeal to the young, half or more of those surveyed in 26 of 38 nations think that China acts unilaterally in international affairs. This concern about Beijing\u2019s failure to consider other countries\u2019 interests when making foreign policy decisions is particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific \u2013 in Japan (89%), South Korea (79%) and Australia (79%) \u2013 and in Europe \u2013 in Spain (85%), Italy (83%), France (83%) and Britain (82%). About half or more of those in the seven Middle Eastern nations surveyed also think China acts unilaterally. This includes 79% of Israelis, 71% of Jordanians and 68% of Turks. There is relatively less concern about this issue in the U.S. (60%). African nations \u2013 in particular strong majorities in Kenya (77%), Nigeria (70%), South Africa (67%) and Senegal (62%) \u2013 believe Beijing does consider their interests when making foreign policy decisions.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"f1f1ef\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1f1ef;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27790 not-transparent\" alt=\"PG_13.06.26_China-TerritorialDisputes_405px\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/PG_13.06.26_China-TerritorialDisputes_405px.png\" width=\"407\" height=\"849\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a name=\"china-territory\"><\/a>Another source of recent tension in relations between China and its immediate neighbors has been a series of territorial disputes in the Asia\/Pacific region. The most prominent of these is between Japan and China, which are engaged in a confrontation over what Tokyo calls the Senkaku Islands and Beijing terms the Diaoyu Islands, small uninhabited rocks in the East China Sea. In addition, the Philippines and China are embroiled in a standoff over the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong majorities in the Philippines (90%), Japan (82%), South Korea (77%) and Indonesia (62%) think that such territorial disputes with China are a big problem for their country. This is particularly the case in the Philippines, where 58% of Filipinos say such friction with China is a <em>very<\/em> big problem.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-27764\" alt=\"Balance of Power18\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/07\/Balance-of-Power18.png\" width=\"294\" height=\"328\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a name=\"china-military\"><\/a>In a related issue, many of China\u2019s Asian-Pacific neighbors are quite troubled by Beijing\u2019s growing military power. Nearly all Japanese (96%) and South Koreans (91%) and strong majorities of Australians (71%) and Filipinos (68%) think China\u2019s expanding martial capabilities are bad for their country. There is far less concern in Pakistan (2%), Malaysia (20%) and Indonesia (39%). It is notable, however, that the proportion of Pakistanis, Malaysians and Indonesians who think China\u2019s growing military power is a positive thing for their country is actually down from previous surveys.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sources of tension may help explain why the Chinese are worried about their image abroad. When asked if their country is as respected around the world as it should be or should China be more respected than it is, 56% of Chinese say their nation should be more respected.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China is viewed favorably in just half (19 of 38) of the nations surveyed excluding China itself.
