A poll was conducted of 354 Chinese Americans who were chosen at random nationwide by from a surname list.
They were asked a series of questions about their attitudes toward China and their views on China and US-China Relations.
Question 3:
Do you believe that currently the relationship between the US and China is improving, getting worse or there is no change.
Nearly the same amount of Chinese-Americans as General public think things haven't changed (35%-37%) and about the same think things are getting worse (10%-12%).
However, not surprisingly, a greater percentage of Chinese-Americans think the relationship is improving (52%) than does the general public (45%).
Why do Chinese-Americans have a rosier picture of the relationship between these two countries?
What do you think?
These survey results were taken from a poll conducted by the Committee of 100.
The Committee of 100 is a national, nonpartisan organization composed of prominent American citizens of Chinese descent. The members of this group pool their resources to address important issues that concern the Chinese/American community but, imho, more importantly foster better US-Greater China relations.
Recently, this group tasked the polling firm ZOGBY to conduct an extensive survey of American Attitudes Toward China.
They polled the General Population (General Public) as well as Chinese Americans. Business leaders, Opinion leaders and Congressional staffers, subsets of the general public were also polled.
In keeping with the Committee of 100 ideals I hope it will create discussion and be used to better understand U.S.-China relations and help those concerned to formulate recommendations on how to improve relationships between these two great countries.
