Russians Positive on China’s Foreign Policy, Economic Model, Negative on U.S. Policies, Bush: But Russians Give American Democracy High Marks Americans Like Their System, Not Their President Russians Like Their President, But Not Their System

Abstract

A new study of Russian and American public opinion finds that the Russian public has broadly positive views of China, potentially seeing China as a more promising partner in international affairs than the United States. While Russians admire the U.S. economic system and democracy, most have negative views of U.S. foreign policy and President Bush.
