Chinese-Americans Weigh in on Necessary Steps to Improve Chinese-US Relations
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 4:
What is the most important thing that the US and China need to do to improve their relationship?
4. Resolve Taiwan situation – chosen by 29 of the respondents. (Number 7 on the list for the General public)
3. More free trade/balanced trade – chosen by 29 respondents. (Number 2 on the list for the General Public)
2. Increased understaning – chosen by 36 respondents. (Number 4 on the list for General Publc)
1. Better/more communication – chosen by 79 respondents. (This was also number one of the General public list)
Seems it is necessary to talk in order to improve relationships, eh?
No surprise there.
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.
