Americans View China Mostly Unfavorably -- Gallop
A majority again rate China as world's leading economic power
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Despite the announcement of historic reforms late last year that would shift China's economy to a more consumer-driven model, Americans still see China in the same, mostly unfavorable, way they did in early 2013. Forty-three percent of U.S. adults say they have a very or mostly favorable opinion of China, while 53% see it very or mostly unfavorably.
These results come from the Feb. 6-9 Gallup World Affairs poll.
Most analysts expect China to be the United States' foremost strategic and economic rival in the decades to come. That is a dramatic shift from 1979, the first year Gallup asked this question, when China's GDP was not even one-tenth of U.S. GDP. That year, 64% of Americans saw China favorably.

My Comment: China's unfavorables have actually been constant since the 1989 Tienanmen massacre. But I am still surprised that it is not higher.
