"A year after Donald Trump's return to the White House, a global survey suggests much of the world believes his nation-first, Make America Great Again approach is instead helping to make China great again. The 21-country survey for the influential European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank also found that under Trump, the US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies particularly in Europe feel ever more distant."
"The poll, of nearly 26,000 respondents in 13 European countries, the US, China, India, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and South Korea, found majorities in almost every territory surveyed expected China's global influence to grow over the next decade. These ranged from 83% in South Africa, 72% in Brazil and 63% in Turkey through 54% in the US, 53% in 10 EU states and 51% in India to 50% in the UK."
"Most EU citizens expected China to soon lead the world in electric vehicles and renewable energies. Moreover, few seemed concerned about it. The polling found that only in Ukraine and South Korea did majorities view China as a rival or an adversary, while more people in South Africa, India and Brazil saw China as an ally than they did two years ago."
A 21-country poll of nearly 26,000 respondents reported majorities in almost every territory expecting China's global influence to grow over the next decade. Expectations ranged from 83% in South Africa to 50% in the UK, with many Europeans anticipating Chinese leadership in electric vehicles and renewable energies. Few countries viewed China primarily as a rival; only Ukraine and South Korea registered majorities seeing China as an adversary. Large shares in South Africa, Russia and Brazil considered China a necessary partner or ally. Confidence in US influence weakened: outside a few countries, most lacked a majority expecting American influence to increase, and many Europeans no longer saw the US as a reliable ally.
