Unfavorable Opinions About China Have Reached Historic Highs

As China celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of its Communist Party last week, the Pew Research Center released a new report showing that unfavorable views of Beijing have reached historic highs in 17 advanced economies.

As Statista’s Niall McCarty notes, in most places, large majorities of the public also agreed that China is not respecting the personal freedoms of its people.

Views of China are broadly negative across most of the world’s advanced economies including approximately three-quarters of respondents in Japan, Sweden, Australia, South Korea and the United States. While overall views did not change significantly in most countries, they did rise in Austria, Canada, Sweden and the United Kingdom as a result of bilateral tensions and the feeling that the pandemic was badly handled.

Eight-in-ten or more respondents said that the Chinese government does not respect the personal freedoms of its people and that view is at record highs in nearly every market surveyed. In a further sign of negativity to towards Beijing, Pew found that few countries have confidence in Xi Jinping doing the right thing regarding world affairs while there is a widespread preference for closer economic ties with the U.S. rather than China.

Disappointed by the U.S. results... If valid... Back in the day, it would have 98% against the communists...

Of course I’ve been violently biased against the chicoms since 1951...

The same government killed at least 100 million of it’s own people. It’s the largest psychotic mass murdering government in all of human history.
The true toll can probably never be known, but 60 million is easily defendable. And that doesn’t include the babies killed and dumped at the city trash pile and FORCED abortions for the decades of the one child policy.

It’s easily 100 million dead.

In a sane world the Chinese communist party would be an international pariah. There would be no trade, no US Soldiers in the international games, no Wuhan Lab, no Olympics, no Embassy, no Direct airline flights.

Not high enough. China’s negatives should be at least 100 percent.
