Chinese-Americans Read English and Chinese News
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 40:
From which sources do you get most of your news about China?
7. Radio – 8% That’s my wife, on the way to work.
6. News magazines – 9%
5. Chinese language Television – 11% – and while we are eating dinner, too!
4. Chinese language newspapers – 15% – free at Ranch 99 and Lion
3. English language newspapers – 18%
2. English language television – 18%
1. Internet – 20%
It seems to me that this one group has an excellent chance of getting a well rounded view of the news. At least, they are sure to get different perspectives such that they can draw their own conclusions.
Where do you get your news?
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.
