U.S. viewed less favourably than China by Canadians, new poll suggests
Pew said 44% of Canadians view China favorably, compared with 33% for the United States, marking a sharp reversal from 2023.
- According to a Pew Research Center report released Wednesday, 44% of Canadians now view China favorably versus 33% for the U.S., marking a reversal from last year when Canadians were equally favorable toward both nations.
- Global sentiment reflects this shift, with respondents in 36 countries now viewing China more positively than the U.S., a trend Laura Silver, associate director of Pew's Global Attitudes Research, attributes to friction from the Trump administration.
- Silver cited President Donald Trump's calls to take over Greenland and the U.S. response to the Israeli-Hamas war as specific actions fueling the perception that China acts as a more reliable partner in global peace.
- Data shows U.S. favorability among key allies falling sharply, with the U.K. rating dropping to 41% from 59% in 2023 and Indonesia's rating plunging to 29% from 55%.
- Although the U.S. still ranks higher on personal freedoms than Beijing, the gap has narrowed since 2021, including a 25-point drop among Canadians saying the U.S. respects personal freedoms.
