South Korean media: China's "global popularity" soars, while the US falls to a negative value! On June 23, South Korean media Kyunghyang Shinmun published an article stating that affected by former US President Donald Trump's tariff war, America's global popularity has plummeted, while China has significantly risen. Recently, a survey company Morning Consult released a report showing that at the end of last month, China's popularity reached 8.8, far exceeding America's -1.5. This contrasts sharply with January 2020 when America's popularity exceeded 20, while China's was around -5. Over the past year, China's popularity has steadily risen and surpassed America in early March. Morning Consult analyzed in its report that the reversal of中美popularity is the first since the survey began in October 2020, which clearly dealt a blow to America's soft power, as many countries with declining popularity are important economic and military partners of the United States. Morning Consult tracked popularity by surveying over 4,900 adults across 41 countries, excluding respondents from the US and China in their respective analyses. Since President Trump took office in January this year, among 38 surveyed countries, America's popularity has declined, while China's popularity has risen in 34 countries. Russia is the only country where America's popularity has significantly improved. Moreover, in 16 countries, national sentiment has shifted from pro-American to pro-Chinese, bringing the total number of "pro-China countries" to 29. The countries with the largest increase in China's popularity are Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Austria, and Germany. On the other hand, only 13 countries remain in the "pro-America camp," including South Korea, Japan, India, Australia, the UK, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The report points out that the Trump administration's tariff policies have had the greatest impact on changes in popularity.
