Radio France Internationale (RFI) Chinese Edition recently reported that, Chicago Council on Global Affairs just released its new poll results on China favorability. Poll questions are rated from 0 to 100, and the average score was 26, down from 32 in 2022 – the lowest since the organization began conducting surveys in 1978, before the United States and China established diplomatic relations. However, Americans do not want the competition between the two countries to turn into war. The American public’s primary concern for bilateral relations is to avoid military conflicts.
More than half (56 percent) of Americans surveyed believe that trade between the two countries weakens U.S. national security, and 79 percent support banning U.S. companies from selling sensitive high-tech products to China, up from 71 percent three years ago. Around 55 percent of Americans currently support increasing tariffs on Chinese products, down from 62 percent in 2021. Even as the U.S. political situation becomes increasingly polarized, data shows that surveyed Republicans and Democrats are consistent in their negative attitudes toward China. However, the two parties differ on how to formulate policies to deal with the threat from China.
