最新民调：美国人对中国敌意下降了……

A recent survey by the Pew Research Center, the results of which were released on Thursday, suggests a decline in the number of Americans viewing China unfavorably.

The survey indicated that, for the first time in five years, the percentage of Americans with an unfavorable opinion of China dropped from 81 percent in 2024 to 77 percent in 2025. Additionally, those with a very unfavorable view of China decreased by 10 percentage points compared to last year.

The share of Americans who call China an enemy of the US, rather than a partner or a competitor, has also fallen. One-third now hold this view, the survey suggests, down from 42 percent last year.

Data from the poll shows that one in four Americans believe China benefits more than the US in their trade relationship. Ten percent believe the US benefits more, while 25 percent say both countries benefit equally, 2 percent say neither benefit, and 16 percent are unsure.

However, a majority of respondents, 52 percent, said they believe tariffs will be bad for the US. 

Comparatively, 24 percent of people said they would be good for the country, 6 percent said there would be no effect and 19 percent were unsure. 

US President Trump's decision to grant a 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China left the two countries intertwined in a heated face off. 

"The world is ready to work with President Trump to fix global trade, and China has chosen the opposite direction," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on social platform X last Thursday.

"If the US decides not to care about the interests of the US itself, China and the rest of the world, and is determined to fight a tariff and trade war, China's response will continue to the end," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said this past Wednesday.
