Canadians And Mexicans Now View China More Favorably Than The U.S. For The First Time In Nearly 20 Years - NEW POLL

The survey found that 44% of Canadians now hold a favorable view of China, compared with 33% who view the United States favorably. In Mexico, the gap is even wider, with 59% expressing favorable views of China versus 40% for the United States. Pew researchers said the reversal stems from two parallel trends: improving views of China and declining opinions of the United States. In 2023, 57% of Canadians viewed the United States favorably, while only 14% held positive views of China. In Mexico, younger adults are especially likely to view China positively.
