The authors compared their findings with two recent Pew Research Center surveys of citizens of 14 developed economies, including the U.S. and several countries in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to more favorability toward Europeans over Americans, Chinese opinions of Europeans varied by nationality, ranging from 23% expressing negative feelings toward Germans to 46% toward citizens of the U.K. However, the Pew data showed <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately 75% of the Europeans surveyed held negative views of the Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>So why does Chinese sentiment about Europeans tend to be more positive than their feelings about Americans? Fang theorizes that Chinese public opinion is largely based on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> reporting of Western governments&#8217; actions. The U.S. government&#8217;s policies regarding China\u2014including those related to trade and security\u2014have received a lot of coverage, whereas individual European governments have drawn far less attention.<\/p>\n<p>The research found that young people in China (those born during or after the 1990s) have less positive views about Americans and slightly more positive views about most Europeans when compared to their older counterparts. Fang said the difference may be due to younger Chinese having more opportunities to experience the outside world through <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing, studying and being exposed to foreign cultures and values than their parents, and to the absence of rivalries such as exists with the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Whether these favorable views of Europeans continue remains to be seen, Fang said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If negative public perceptions of China persist in European countries, their governments may become more critical of China for domestic reasons,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This could then set in motion a feedback loop whereby Chinese public perceptions of the European countries deteriorate as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But for the time being, Fang said European countries may be able to capitalize on their positive image and facilitate cooperation with China on issues of mutual interest, such as climate change, and play a role in mediating tensions between the U.S. and China.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Liu from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore and Xiaojun Li from the Department of Political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a> at the University of British Columbia were co-authors of the study.
