More people have favourable views of China than the United States in 25 out of 36 countries and territories surveyed, including Canada and Mexico, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center released on Wednesday. Views were also more favourable of Chinese leader Xi Jinping than US President Donald Trump in 22 of the countries and territories.
The world has largely viewed the US more favourably than China for the past two decades but those opinions flipped in Beijing's favour this year, a remarkable shift driven in part by Trump administration policies and tensions with US allies.
