"Growing Concern: Americans Fear China's Rise Threatens US National Interest"

A new survey conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs reveals that nearly three in five Americans consider China's rise as a critical threat to US interests, the highest level of concern since 1990. The survey highlights that many Americans believe US leaders are not adequately addressing issues such as intellectual property theft, economic competition, and China's role in global supply chains. While concerns about China's economic power and political system are prominent, Americans seem confident in US military supremacy. The survey also indicates a decline in trust in China's ability to handle global problems. As President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden prepare to meet, experts suggest that a simple meeting is unlikely to change Americans' views on China without significant progress on issues important to the American people.
