A new survey by the public opinion research organization 'Pew Research Center' reveals that more people across the globe now view China more positively than the United States. The findings indicate that both China's national image and the personal ratings of its leader Xi Jinping have surpassed those of the U.S. and President Donald Trump in many countries.

While exact figures and the full list of nations were not disclosed in the report, the trend points to a significant shift in global public opinion. 'Pew Research Center' regularly conducts such measurements, and the latest data show a growing favorable perception of China. This occurs at a time when U.S. foreign policy and global influence face various challenges.

Researchers note that the differences in ratings may be linked to economic cooperation and political narratives, though specific reasons are not explored in this article. The results are presented as an established fact: in many nations, China and its leader are now seen more positively than the United States and its president.
