A broad international survey suggests that President Donald Trump's approach to global affairs has coincided with a growing perception that China, rather than the United States, represents the more stable and reliable power in a rapidly shifting world order.
Across much of the world, respondents expect China's global influence to increase over the next decade, while few believe U.S. power will grow. Many still expect Washington to remain influential, but the data point to a view of the United States under Trump as a more transactional power, no longer anchoring a liberal international order or a cohesive Western alliance.
