U.S. VIEWS OF CHINA TURN SHARPLY NEGATIVE AMID TRADE TENSIONS

Results of a new Pew Research Center survey indicate Americans believe economic ties between China and the U.S. are poor. Amid these economic concerns, unfavorable opinions of China have reached a 14-year high. Today, 60 percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of China – the highest level since Pew Research Center began asking the question. Americans also increasingly see China as a threat. Around a quarter of Americans (24 percent) name China as the country or group that poses the greatest threat to the U.S. in the future. (Pew Research Center)
