More people around the world now favour China over the US.

[Fiatless]

A study by a US-based think tank, the Pew Research Center, shows that China is now viewed more positively than the US in many countries around the world. This is the first time this has happened since 2002. The study also shows that respondents have more confidence in Chinese leader Xi Jinping than in Donald Trump. The report shows that even close allies are changing their views about the US.



I am not surprised by the reports of this research. Washington under Trump has done more harm than good to the world. The sponsorship and involvement in the war in the Middle East. The illegal killing of innocent fishermen and the abduction of Venezuela's president, the economic blockade in Cuba, and the threat to take over Greenland. The global economy has not recovered from his threats and imposition of tariffs.

Meanwhile, China is becoming a global peacemaker and bridge builder. They are busy building more viable partnerships as the US is bombing countries. Even within the European nations, China is becoming a reliable partner because of the US's inconsistent trade policies.

Trump made up lies that says Iran has only 2 weeks to build a nuclear weapon. He said Israel will be destroyed in minutes if Iran has a nuclear weapon. All countries that we know of are only using the nukes to protect their supremacy, but Trump just want to war and kill people. Is that a country that people will always be supporting?

A country that see his ally and said he want all their lands just because he thought of the largest Island to be warmed up and land there will be accessible for minerals.

Trump that is saying his allies NATO are not helpful.

China is a trap, like the US banking system is a trap. Both systems allow good times to happen to people. But when their control becomes strong enough, BAM, they suddenly change. And, both systems constantly steal tax and inflation money from you, right now, even before they take formal complete control.

China is taking advantage of the US harshness on other countries to draw them closer because the US believes that every country in the world needs them to survive but gradually, they're slowly losing these countries to China. The US needs to be careful if not, they will make more enemies than friends because of the orange man actions.

I will not disagree with this because if you look at the world statistics as well when it comes to GDP and economy, China is one of the top lead and this is because they have been actively found in every sector of production in the country, not only that, China is more committed to producing for international benefits and has a policy that restrict bringing in foreign produced items to their country, when it comes to the economy aspect, I will definitely go for China because they are having a boosting economy performance over the years.

These wars are going on far too long.  Ukraine still happening is an absolute disgrace.  Now the US wanting control over the Straight of Hormuz feels like overreaching.  I am glad that pipelines are being constructed to alleviate this issue long term, but for now it is a mess and I don't blame the world for being sick of it.

When China is done building goodwill with the world and decides to invade Taiwan, all of this favorable gained ground will be lost.  That seems to be the future we're heading towards...  Russia, China, and the US taking over strategic assets around the globe.

He promised to end wars, but he has failed. Trump got the support of many muslims because of his campaign promises to end the war in Gaza and settle the conflict between Russia and Iran. He seems to have lost focus on these goals and is more concerned with the instability he has caused in the Middle East.

The prediction of China invading Taiwan has always surfaced in discussions like this. However, according to US intelligence and international analysts, China has no plans to invade Taiwan for now. Xi Jinping should have learned from the protracted war between Russia and Ukraine.

At least they are not going around bombing different countries, sanctioning them, assassinating leaders who do not agree with them through their intelligence networks, funding a Middle East genocide and so on. The US has done all sorts of evil, and it's no surprise that people are waking up. It's a falling empire.

I don't like China in the sense of they're doing a debt trap to its allies. They're going to take over somehow in some markets of their allies and then will have to agree on the terms they want to. While they're doing it differently and economically compared to how US does things. They're on the side of making its borrowers as their slave through the favor that can be given to them. Like building infrastructures, bridges and other things so that aside from the debt they're giving to their allies and borrowers, they'll be indebted to them as a good ally.

I don't know how legitimate this news may be but peradventurely it's true, of course I won't be surpass to see another region take over the World power from the US after all the British Empire was as a state that has come to hold the world on unending random when they dominate major World economy and population. Then the US double cross.

Perhaps their have been much more sovereignty countries and the 21st century has also been a competitive pressure for every governments to invest and effortlessly in their national economy sectors.
The news is quite interesting to be believable because China has also been on the international economy and since Donald Trump had been on his arrogant seat even though he might be doing the right things, many countries had been diversifying their attentions in the Chinese market. China had also been up to digital advancements and technologies.

I won't also be surprised to see China take over the World power from US but the time of this anticipation should be unarguable for now because US has not seem to fade out yet.

I will not totally disagree with this because during this second reign of Donald Trump, America and the world have not actually enjoyed lasting peace. I was a strong fan of Trump and I campaigned for him despite not being an American. But of recent, I've come to realise that Trump was fighting too many battles and some of these battles are actually unnecessary.

If it was related to sovereignty treat, I will understand. But this is purely show of power and international politics. So, it is expected that people will shift allegiance naturally. China does not go about fight everyone in the name of fighting for the world. So, there are not expected to have economic enemies.

For my country, our former president, now late made some moves to establish a direct trade with china via Naira - Yuan exchange but that hasn't been fulfilled till now.

The same is being done by the US. You have to look into it deeper to see it. Also, unlike China, the US does not directly build infrastructure in the developing countries. They instead lend them money in through financial institutions like the World Bank, usually in US dollars.
The developing countries, through their taxing authorities (which, by the way, are educated on how to tax by the same western counterparts), have to squeeze the citizens with all forms of taxes so they can repay the loan with interest. This cycle happens year in and year out, and there is little left for the citizens, and those are the same people who will come out and claim how the countries are poverty-stricken.

In the end, the citizens of the developing countries are slaves to the lenders for decades.

For me, I think alot of countries is not just choosing between china and US, because most of them is looking for what will be of benefit to their economy and national interest. If a country makes cooperation very difficult, another country can make use of that opportunity to build stronger relationships. In the end, international politics is not just about permanent enemies or friends. You see is the interest that drives most decisions and again countries will usually work with whoever offers  the best or better opportunity at that moment.

This is a consequence of the United States' abuse of power to bully the rest of the world for decades, not just because of Trump's leadership.

Over the past 250 years, they have caused countless wars and crises, leading to the deaths of millions of people around the world.


Meanwhile, China is emerging as a counterweight to the United States. Therefore, it is not surprising that more and more people and countries that were once bullied by the United States are now leaning towards supporting China.

[uneng]

USA went for an aggressive stance towards the world, while China went for a passive-aggressive stance. It makes Chinese leadership looks more friendly than the North American one, what doesn't mean the world is favourable to China, anyway.

It seems the main difference between both is that Trump enjoys the status and fame, besides power and mostly, money. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping doesn't care about the status and fame at all. Chinese modus operandi focuses on being powerful, but in a more discreet way... Doing their schemes and being highly authoritarian on the shadows, far from the spotlights of the media.

You're right, US does it the same thing but it's not the only way of US. They're also doing war and that's the first thing that most people know on how they're benefiting from it. But that last sentence you've said is the real thing for most of the countries that have borrowed to either US or China. The people suffer due to the favor that they're giving to them and as well as the debt they've taken with interest in it. So sad that the payment is at the expense of people and I think even newly born children have already that debt on their shoulders thanks to the government.

The World Bank is aware that the leaders they are giving these loans to are corrupt and might end up embezzling these funds. Yet they consistently offer loan packages because they want to keep enslaving the people.

Chinese loans might not be perfect, but at least the people would enjoy the infrastructure. In my country, China is building much infrastructure that wouldn't have been possible if cash were given to politicians.

China and Taiwan are one according to the president of China and they have no such plans to invade a place that belongs to them.

The Strait of Hormuz will be controlled by the IRGC there'll be no changing. They have decided to make it their own personal nuclear weapon. I don't think Chinese and Russia wants that,  the US government just make use of these countries ( Ukraine and Taiwan  ) as proxies to fight both Russia and China.

OP, do not also forget Donald Trump's comment on making Canada the 51st states, making the Canadian Prime minister furious and gravitating towards China to cut a deal with them. The damage done by Donald Trump will take quite sometime to be corrected.

Personally I am done with the current world order with the US at the helm. Maybe a new power should rise up and show them how it's done, most especially without the stupid wars and invasions that lead to the loss of innocent lives. China being a threat to the US has also led to a lot of propaganda on how much more evil China is compared to the West. Until China bombs a country 1,000 miles away from its territory and kills its innocent civilians. That propaganda isn't even getting into my head.
