The world at large now has an overwhelmingly more positive opinion of China than of the United States, with 79% of the world's countries favoring China.
This data was compiled based on a survey of 111,273 people in 100 countries by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, founded by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Needless to say, not exactly an organization with a pro-China bias
Here are the findings:
- 79% of the world's countries favor China versus the U.S.
- Fascinatingly, this is even the case among countries classified in the survey as "democracies" (as opposed to "authoritarian") who also favor China on average, particularly in Western Europe
- China is now the only great power among the three with a net positive image, while the U.S. and Russia are both viewed more negatively than positively
- The U.S. in particular has seen a sharp decline in its global standing over the past year, while perceptions of China and Russia have steadily improved
