Less than Half of Chinese-Americans Think Loss of Jobs to China is Severe
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 18:
Please indicate whether you believe the loss of US manufacturing and technical jobs to China is severe?
42% of Chinese think the loss is severe. Compare that to 52% of the general public.
Job loss to China is considered the most severe by Chinese-Americans. Job loss to India is next (38%) and job loss to Mexico is third (23%).
What do you think about US job losses to these three countries? Which country is getting most of the work?
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.
