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.
