Global views of China, Xi improve as US, Trump ratings decline: Pew

Views of China and its leader Xi Jinping have improved in many countries worldwide, while those of the US and President Donald Trump have deteriorated, according to a new survey of about two dozen countries by the Pew Research Centre. Released Tuesday, the survey shows that international views of the two superpowers and their leaders are closer than since 2020. The results are a drastic departure from those in the past several years when the US and its leader then-President Joe Biden enjoyed more favourable international views than China and its president. In its latest survey of 24 countries, Pew found that the US was viewed more favourably than China in eight countries, China was viewed more favourably in seven, and the two were viewed about equally in the remainder. Pew did not provide definitive explanations for the shifts, but Laura Silver, associate director of research, said it's possible that views of a country may change when those of another superpower shift.
