Australians' trust in China has hit a 15-year record low despite the two countries' growing demographic and economic ties, a new report finds. But more Australians still trust Chinese President Xi Jinping than US President Trump.
But more Australians still trust Chinese President Xi Jinping than his US counterpart, President Donald Trump.The 2019 Lowy Institute Poll, which measures Australians' attitude to other countries, found that only 32% of those surveyed said they trusted China either a"great deal" or"somewhat" to act responsibly in the world.It was a massive 20-point drop on the results of the 2018 survey, as a trade war ratchets up between China and the US, a close Australian ally.
Economically, Kassam said the survey showed Australians were feeling"increasing vulnerability" about China's economic rise, despite Beijing being Australia's largest trading partner.According to the report, 74% of Australians believe that their country is"too economically dependent on China", while 68% said Australia allows"too much investment from China".
