Only 41% of Chinese Americans have a favorable view of China — survey
In the latest report underscoring negative sentiment in the United States toward China, Pew Research found that most Asian Americans view their ancestral homelands favorably, except for Chinese Americans.. By contrast, about nine-in-ten Taiwanese and Japanese Americans say their opinion of their own ancestral homeland is very or somewhat favorable, as do large majorities of Korean, Indian and Filipino adults.
The report is based on an analysis of a nationally representative survey of Asian American adults conducted from July 5, 2022, to Jan. 27, 2023, Pew said. The period was covered heightened military exercises around Taiwan by China’s People’s Liberation Army following a visit by then U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan last August.
More broadly, Asian Americans have predominantly negative views of China, Pew found. Only 20% of Asian adults have a favorable opinion of China, compared with 52% who have an unfavorable opinion and 26% with neither a favorable nor unfavorable opinion, the research group said. Approximately 24 million Americans were at least partly of Asian descent as of 2021, according to Commerce Department figures.
The image of the U.S. itself fared much better in the report. Around three-quarters of Asian Americans have a favorable view of the United States. A majority also say they have positive views of Japan , South Korea and Taiwan , Pew found. Overall opinion among Asian Americans of Vietnam, the Philippines and India was more mixed. For Vietnam and the Philippines, 37% of Asian adults have positive views, while around half say they have neither favorable nor unfavorable views.
