[SURVEY] Chinese Americans See China Negatively; Only 4 Out of 10 Favor the Country

Many Chinese Americans see China negatively; even other Asian Americans don't favor the country as well. This was revealed by in a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center; an American think tank.

Chinese Americans See China Negatively

According to USA Today's latest report, the Pew Research Center poll involved over 7.000 Asian Americans, including Chinese Americans.

The survey was conducted between July 2022 to January 2023. The American think tank highlighted the views of Asian Americans located in seven different countries.

These include Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India, and China.

Based on their findings, only four out of ten Chinese Americans favor mainland China. Meanwhile, only 14% of other Asian Americans see the country positively.

Karthick Ramakrishnan, the director and founder of policy research hub AAPI Data, said that the findings of the Pew survey are not surprising at all.

Ramakrishnan explained that this is because most Asian Americans (around 60% of them) are foreign-born. Because of this, the AAPI Data founder said that Asian Americans who come from authoritarian regimes tend to leave for a reason.

How Asian Americans See Other Countries

Via its official survey, Pew Research Center also highlighted other findings showing how Asian Americans see other Asian countries.

These include the following:

• For Japan, the majority of the Asian Americans surveyed see the country positively. However, Korean Americans stand out because only 36% of them favor Japan.
• For South Korea, more than 50% of Japanese Americans see the country positively. But, Japanese and Chinese Americans combined don't favor SoKor.
• For India, many Indian Americans have favorable views of the country. Filipino Americans come in second when it comes to favoring India.

When it comes to the United States, the majority of the polled Asian Americans favor the American country.

Specifically, most of them even believe that the U.S. will be the world's leading economic power in the next decade.

"About half of Asian Americans (53%) say the United States will be the world's leading economic power over the next decade," said the American think tank.
