@chinaembassyinmaldives: Global survey: China tops US in global favorability A Pew Research Center report released on Wednesday found that China is now viewed more positively than the United States across the 36 countries surveyed. Across 20 countries with comparable data, China's median favorability stood at 46%, compared with 36% for the US. In several US allies, including the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Germany, views of China have become markedly more positive. Analysts attribute the shift to Trump's foreign policies and China's expanding international cooperation.
