Chinese-Americans Have Favorable View of China
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 1:
How favorable is your impression of China?
1. Those with a very favorable or somewhat favorable perception were 75%. (The general public – 59%)
2. Those with a very unfavorable or somewhat unfavorable perception were 23%. (The general public – 35%)
It is not surprising to me that more Chinese-Americans have a favorable impression than does the general public. I am also not surprised that less Chinese-American have an unfavorable impression
The Chinese are usually very strongly devoted to their country. They know what is wrong/right and are glad to point it out. But whoa to the laowai who tries to join in on that conversation about what is wrong.
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.
