Chinese people hold favourable opinions about Russia but strongly unfavourable views towards Japan and the United States, according to a survey by Beijing’s Tsinghua University.
However, the disapproval for America was mostly directed at the US government and its policies, rather than the general public, according to the Chinese Outlook on International Security survey.
The annual poll by the university’s Centre for International Security and Strategy (CISS) showed that 66% of respondents hold ‘very favourable’ or ‘somewhat favourable’ views towards Russia.
In contrast, nearly 76% and 81% of respondents expressed ‘unfavourable’ views towards the US and Japan, respectively. The US scored 1.85 and Japan scored 1.68 on a scale of one to five.
Japan, which is at odds with China, scored the lowest this year: 1.68. Japan and the US also ranked the lowest last year.
