US EditionGlobal Views of China and Xi Improve, While They Decline About the US and Trump, Survey Says
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The favorability gap between the U.S. and China narrows as U.S. views drop 20 points and China’s rise 13 points across 24 countries, Pew Research Center found.
- The Pew Research Center released a survey on July 15, 2025, showing international views of China and the U.S. are closer than ever across 24 countries.
- This survey followed nationally representative polls from January to April 2025 that revealed declining favorable views of the U.S. and improved views of China and Xi Jinping.
- The survey found a median of 49% of adults view the U.S. favorably, 37% view China favorably, confidence in Trump dropped to 18%, and confidence in Xi rose slightly to 22%.
- Laura Silver suggested that as perceptions of the U.S. shift—particularly given doubts about Trump’s ability to guide the global economy—the image of China might change for some individuals.
- These trends imply a narrowing gap in global influence perceptions that may affect international alliances and economic priorities going forward.
