Miscellaneous
There was a lot of media attention when a Pew Research Center study came out in late 2020 saying that 61 percent of citizens in 14 major economies hold unfavourable views of China. And especially that public opinion of China in the United States was historically negative. But what about public opinion inside China? How did Chinese citizens view these same 14 countries? That’s exactly what our guests found out. Their survey revealed that the negative feelings are largely mutual, particularly Chinese views of the US, which 77 percent responded was “very unfavourable" or "somewhat unfavourable" The survey was authored by Songying Fang, Associate Professor of Political Science at Rice University, Adam Liu, Assistant Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy who are with us now, and Xiaojun Li, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia, who was unfortunately unable to join us.
