22 Nation Poll Shows China Viewed Positively by Most Countries: China’s Economic Growth Considered Positive But Not Its Increasing Military Power

Abstract

A new BBC World Service Poll of 22 countries finds that China is viewed as playing a significantly more positive role in the world than either the US or Russia, a role more on par with Britain. Asked about possible future trends, most are positive about China significantly increasing its economic power in the world but most are negative about China significantly increasing its military power.
