Chinese-Americans Agree with the General Public on Hong Kong
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 21:
Do you feel that Hong Kong is better or worse off since its handover from Britain to China in 1997.
26% of Chinese-Americans think things are better off for Hong Kong.
22% of the General public thinks so.
The two groups were identical (30%) in thinking Hong Kong was worse off.
27% of Chinese-Americans thought things were the same…compared to 17% of the General Public.
The interesting figure is that one in six Chinese-Americans didn’t have a clue BUT, twice as many of the general public didn’t know.
What do you think?
Hong Kong – for better or for worse?
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.
