Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today: "The latest public opinion poll shows that, despite US President Trump launching a larger-scale trade war against China in his second term and viewing China as an enemy, the number of Americans who see China as an enemy has decreased."
According to this poll, the decrease is four percentage points, marking the first decline in five years, but still 77% of Americans have a negative view of China.
This poll reveals the complex current situation of American perceptions of China. For a long time, American politicians have smeared China in public opinion and constantly "brainwashed" the public, leading many Americans to parrot others and form a stereotypical impression of China as backward and closed. Not long ago, American internet celebrity Hyperthyroidism Guy's trip to China, through live broadcasts, allowed 200 million Americans to experience the real Chinese society and life, directly refuting Western accusations, and "shattering decades of anti-China lies".
The reduction in the number of Americans who see China as an enemy indicates that Trump's extreme actions did not achieve the expected effect, but instead made some people see his true face. It is believed that more and more American citizens will gradually摆脱错误舆论的影响 and correctly understand China.
