SAVANNAH, Ga. () — A study done by the Pew Research Center that surveyed individuals from 24 countries shows that views on China have turned positive while views on the United States are becoming negative.

Some countries surveyed include Israel, U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan and the U.K.

“This is the first time since 2020 that views on China have turned more positive,” reads the publication. However, worldwide views of the Asian country remain on the negative side.

The survey asked participants how much confidence they had on presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to do “the right thing” regarding world affairs. More than half of the countries surveyed said they lack confidence in the American president.

Contrary to Trump, worldwide confidence in Xi has increased in 16 countries over time and has only decreased in Israel where support for Trump is notable.

However, in countries like France, Germany, Spain and the U.K., Trump is rated more highly today than during his first term in office, showing an increase in the president’s popularity.

In an open-ended question asking what country they see as an ally or threat, the United States and Russia were seen as a higher threat than China worldwide.
