People like the Belt and Road Initiative better than drone strikes and wealth extraction?
I’m shocked.
I feel like “dislike the least” would be more accurate.
Brazilian here, can confirm.
The caption below the graph in the image states that is how you should interpret the results in some places:
The map compares the popularity of the U.S. and China in each country based on their net perception score (measured as the difference between the share of respondents with a positive perception minus those with a negative perception of each country.) The country with the higher net score is relatively more popular, or less unpopular.
Unlike in the small western propagandised US/EU group sinophobia isn’t so rampant.
So this is asking if you are a Sinophobe or Ameriphobe?
How problematic
Any person with a soul or a minimum of humanity is Ameriphobe.
Very problematic
They sure are

Dear Americans, think about this one. If you can.
- Canada
Just like to point out for everyone else that, at least when it comes to Canada, the US vs China is a Last vs Second Last situation. Opinions on China haven’t improved, the US has just fallen that far.
I imagine that will be the case many places elsewhere also. Certainly that is in line with my own thinking.
Opinions on China haven’t improved, the US has just fallen that far.
Weeelll maybe not entirely, while I think you are right about public opinion not having improved much towards China, and most of it is because USA definitely has fallen.
There is a matter about pragmatic politics of necessity or “real politics” as we call it here, but I don’t know if that term means the same in English. But in that regard China has REALLY shot up in popularity, as the option for cooperation to keep our economies afloat while USA is hammering everybody including themselves on the economy, and is causing grat instability.EU has made many trade deals since Trump became president, Closer ties with UK, new deals with Canada within multiple areas including defense cooperation, and trade deal with Indonesia and Singapore.
Some of these deals have been negotiated over years, but after Trump, they have suddenly become “finalized”. Meaning they will be written into law.In the exact same way talks with China are now way more open about improving trade relations, to compensate for USA being unreliable. So in practical terms, relations with China are actually improving because of Trump!
Yes, we know. You were supporting US atrocities without a shred of guilt or empathy for as along as you’ve existed. You only flipped because you’re now on the receiving end of it this time.
Exactly
With ex-NATO chief Rasmussen among others on the board of directors 😂
I’m sure they are very objective
More like “which country do you dislike slightly less”. None of them are in the positives, it is just a choice between two evils.

Xi is only one with more positives than negatives.
I too fear the purge comrade
these are global public opinions of leaders.
Thanks trump
This result is quite an achievement with the immense global soft power of US cultural institutions like Hollywood buoying it up.
What do you like most, being kicked in the balls or being hit in the balls with some object?
Interesting that two of the few countries that prefer the US to China are China’s fellow BRICS members Brazil and India.
And everyone they share the western Pacific with…
Not really surprising. China’s not a particularly great neighbor since their govt seems to enjoy claiming territory it don’t actually control.
As recently as 4 years ago, India and China have had a border conflict.
The US imports a lot of guns from Brazil.
I can safely report that is not the reason why the US is more popular in Brazil.
Feel free to share your wisdom if you know what is or might be the reason :)
The US importing guns from Brazil has the same vibe as Saudi Arabia importing sand from Australia
The US imports guns from a number of countries.
India has a fascist religious nutbag as a president.
I have doubts on the accuracy of Brasil, since the source is a western and biased one.
I mean, if my options are the USA, China, and Russia, I’d rather go live on the moon.
I think it’s at least pretty easy to rule out Russia as the worst of those 3.
Right, definitely not the cancer that is the US, let’s compare the countries they invaded and how many deaths they caused.
🤡Russia is invading and another country as we speak. I’m not sure how they stack up historically (and what parameters to use) but Russian invasion of Ukraine is just very recent
1 coutry is hardly a list is it?
And for good reason, saving their ethnic minority from US backed fasccists. see, again caused by the US and their imaginary values you mention.
Defending that cancer country is really not possible without looking like a total paid troll or at best an embarrassment.I wasn’t making a list though, just saying that Russia is currently invading Ukraine so of course that’s more fresh in people’s minds than stuff the US has done
The US in the same time is active in that war, and complicit in the Palestine holocaust and attacking Iran and Yemen.
The US in the same time is active in that war
On the defending side…
TFW Vietnam likes you more than Canada
Vietnam has a very specific and valid grudge against China. Granted a grudge against the US would also be super valid. I think it falls along the lines of China should have been their ally so from them they felt betrayed. America just gave them what they expected from western imperialism. This is vibes based though so take it with multiple grains of salt
China probably feels pretty threatening to live next to. See: why many countries bordering Russia really really dislike Russia.
Hmmmm… they made liking China red and liking the US green… hmmm call me crazy guys but there might be a bias in this source
That isn’t blue?
I swear I thought that this was red and blue.
Is this another dress situation?
It’s teal
…is in fact teal, or as…
From an org with ex-NATO chief Rasmussen in the board? Nah, completely neutral!
I’m a fan of my neighbor Canada. Hope to be a citizen one day.
We Indians despise the Chinese. Seriously others underestimate how much we hate them. Not to mention they keep trying to steal our borders
To be fair most of my discussions with Indians in Australia, you guys hate all your neighbours. Even other Indians if they’re from the wrong state
That would make sense considering that all of their neighbours were originally part of India before it was India and split off because of disagreements of some sort.
You aren’t wrong lol but China is in that special group for us which constitutes Pakistan, and now Bangladesh is interested in joining that group for some reason of no fault of our own
Don’t hate the people; hate the state ✌️
Everyone hates horrible hindutva fascists killing minorities.
Nobody even knows about them at the global level
Unfortunately, most people are politically ignorant and at best know what goes on in their country.
I, as a European do follow geopolitics, sooner or later it will have consequences.
No country is an island in that sense.I mean I don’t like them as well but that said not sure how this is pertinent to the original thread lol?
It’s a reaction to that indian displaying his fanatic hate.
Indonesia has entered the chat.
Didn’t read the linked article when i first saw this post, some more interesting (though not surprising) results from the poll:
Trump recorded the worst score among a range of political, cultural and spiritual leaders that includes X owner Elon Musk, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the late Pope Francis, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.
Israel emerged as the country with the worst global reputation of those included in the poll, especially in the Middle East and South Asia. Israel is unpopular even in European countries that have historically been its allies, such as Germany, signaling growing discomfort with its government’s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.
yet we germans are still happy enough to sign new weapon export deals to Israel. As long as the money flows, who cares for human right violations en masse, amirite?
Well, America isn’t producing tons of cheap solar panels to contribute to the energy transition
