Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

A Pew Research Center survey found China is viewed more favorably than the U.S. in 25 of 36 surveyed countries and territories, the first time Pew has recorded Beijing ahead of Washington across most of the poll. The shift reverses years in which the U.S. generally held the advantage and comes as views of China have improved while opinions of the U.S. have worsened. The survey also found Chinese leader Xi Jinping drawing more favorable views than President Donald Trump in many nations.
