In particular, the side effects of rapid economic growth, including the gap between rich and poor, rising prices, pollution, and the loss of traditional culture are major concerns, and there are also increasing worries about political corruption. While the Chinese have consistently rated their national and personal economic situations positively over the last few years, they are now grappling with the concerns of a modern, increasingly wealthy society.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese public also increasingly expresses reservations about relations with the United States. Over the last two years, ratings for the U.S. and President Obama have declined significantly, and the percentage of Chinese who characterize their country\u2019s relationship with the U.S. as one of cooperation has plummeted from 68% to 39%. Still, many Chinese embrace aspects of America\u2019s soft power, including U.S. science and technology and American ideas about democracy.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24714\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/10\/China16.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"365\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inflation remains the top concern of the Chinese public \u2013 six-in-ten consider rising prices a <em>very <\/em>big problem. Meanwhile, half say corrupt officials are a major problem, up from 39% four years ago.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worries about consumer protection have also increased significantly. After a number of high-profile food safety scandals in recent years, concerns about the safety of food have more than tripled since 2008.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while China\u2019s economy has grown at a much faster rate than most countries since the onset of the global economic downturn, concerns about economic inequality have also increased. About half now say the gap between rich and poor is a very big problem, and roughly eight-in-ten agree with the view that in China the \u201crich just get richer while the poor get poorer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the rapid changes that have transformed their society in recent years have not been welcomed by all Chinese. Most still say they like the pace of modern life, but fewer hold this view today than four years ago. Nearly six-in-ten say their traditional way of life is getting lost and even more think their way of life should be protected against foreign influence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are among the key findings from a survey of China conducted by the Pew Research Center\u2019s Global Attitudes Project. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 3,177 respondents between March 18 and April 15. The sample represents approximately 64% of the adult Chinese population.[1. For more on the survey\u2019s methodology, see the Survey Methods section of this report.] This poll in China is part of the broader 21-nation spring 2012 Pew Global Attitudes survey.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;despite-success-many-see-problems&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"despite-success-many-see-problems\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"despite-success\"><\/a>Despite Success, Many See Problems<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the global financial crisis has taken a serious toll in many nations over the last few years, most Chinese report continued economic progress \u2013 indeed, 70% say they are better off financially than they were five years ago. Among the 21 nations polled, Brazil is the only country where the public reports a comparable level of economic advancement. Additionally, a remarkable 92% of Chinese say their standard of living is better than their parents\u2019 at a similar age. <em>(For more on international economic mobility and other economic issues, see &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2012\/07\/12\/pervasive-gloom-about-the-world-economy\/\">Pervasive Gloom About the World Economy<\/a>,\u201d released July 12, 2012). <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given this economic mobility and the overall success of economic reforms since the late 1970s, it is not too surprising that free markets are popular. Roughly three-in-four Chinese agree that most people are better off in a free market economy.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"efefef\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efefef;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24713 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/10\/China15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"281\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is a general consensus in China that the economic gains of recent years have not benefited everyone equally: 81% agree with the statement the \u201crich just get richer while the poor get poorer,\u201d and 45% <em>completely <\/em>agree. Roughly half (48%) say the gap between rich and poor is a very serious problem, up from 41% four years ago (fully 87% consider it at least a <em>moderately <\/em>big problem).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And some Chinese doubt whether simply working hard is enough to guarantee success in today\u2019s China. While 45% agree with the statement \u201cmost people can succeed if they are willing to work hard,\u201d one-in-three disagrees. Those who are doing better economically are much more likely to see a link between effort and success \u2013 62% of higher-income Chinese believe most people can be successful if they work hard, compared with 45% of middle- and 44% of lower-income respondents.[2. For income, respondents are grouped into three categories. Lower-income respondents are those with a reported annual household income of 25,000 yuan or less, middle-income respondents fall between the range of 25,001 to 80,000 annually, and those in the higher-income category earn 80,001 yuan or more annually.]<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another sign that many do not see a level playing field in Chinese society, there are growing worries about corruption. Half now say corrupt officials are a very big problem, up 11 percentage points since 2008; and 32% say this about corrupt business people, also up 11 points from four years ago.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumer protection is another rising concern. Four years ago, just 12% rated food safety a very big problem; today, it\u2019s 41%. The percentage expressing very serious concerns about the safety of medicine has more than tripled, from 9% in 2008 to 28% today. And more now are very worried about the quality of manufactured goods (13% in 2008; 33% now).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Increasingly, people are also anxious about having a social safety net. Since 2008, the percentage of those rating old age insurance a very big problem has more than doubled (from 13% to 28%), while the percentage who say the same about health care has jumped from 12% to 26%. The environment is also a serious concern to many. A third or more rate air (36%) and water pollution (33%) as very big problems.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, many Chinese are worried about the current state and direction of their culture and traditions. Most (57%) think their way of life is getting lost and 71% want to see their way of life protected from foreign influence. While 59% still say they like the pace of modern life, this is down from 71% four years ago. Wealthier Chinese are more likely to embrace modern life; 73% of those with higher incomes say they like it, compared with just 61% of middle and 54% of lower income Chinese.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;growing-wariness-of-the-u-s&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"growing-wariness-of-the-u-s\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing Wariness of the U.S.<\/h3>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24712\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/10\/China14.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"324\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last two years, Chinese views about their country\u2019s relationship with the U.S. have shifted substantially. In 2010, roughly two-in-three described the U.S.-China relationship as one of cooperation; today, just 39% view it this way. Meanwhile, 26% now say the relationship is one of hostility, up from 8% in the 2010 poll.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, while 58% had a positive view of the U.S. in 2010, only 43% do so today. President Obama\u2019s ratings have also slipped \u2013 currently, 38% express confidence that he will do the right thing in world affairs, down from 52% two years ago.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"e7e0c4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e7e0c4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24711 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/10\/China13.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"437\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, many Chinese \u2013 especially younger, wealthier, well-educated, and urban Chinese \u2013 continue to embrace certain elements of American soft power. In particular, many admire the U.S. for its scientific and technological achievements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in a country that remains a one-party state, American-style democracy has a strong appeal. Roughly half (52%) say they like American ideas about democracy; just 29% say they dislike these ideas. About seven-in-ten Chinese in the higher-income category have a positive opinion about American democratic ideals.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like opinions regarding the U.S.-China relationship, views about the India-China relationship have cooled over the last two years. In 2010, 53% described relations between the two Asian powers as one of cooperation, compared with 39% now.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24710\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/10\/China12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"596\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views on the Japan-China relationship are, on balance, negative. Just three-in-ten Chinese say their relationship with Japan is one of cooperation; fully 41% describe it in terms of hostility.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;views-of-chinas-economic-power&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"views-of-chinas-economic-power\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Views of China\u2019s Economic Power<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Globally, perceptions of Chinese economic power have been on the rise since the onset of the financial crisis in 2008, and today many believe China is the world\u2019s top economy. Across the 21 countries included in the spring 2012 Pew Global Attitudes survey, a median of 41% said China is the economic leader, while 37% named the U.S. <em>(For more on international perceptions of China and the U.S., see \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2012\/06\/13\/chapter-4-rating-countries-and-institutions\/\">Global Opinion of Obama Slips, International Policies Faulted<\/a>,\u201d released June 13, 2012). <\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese, however, do not believe they have ascended to the top spot. About half (48%) say the U.S. is the world\u2019s leading economy, while just 29% believe it is China. Americans, meanwhile, are divided: 41% think China is the top global economy, while 40% believe the U.S. remains the leader.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While China prepares for a leadership change, the Chinese people believe their country is facing growing challenges, including rising prices, inequality, corruption, and consumer safety.
