China’s global investments have increased tremendously and in recent years, it has overtaken the United States as the largest trading partner in many countries. China is aggressively challenging America’s dominant influence across the globe. President, Joe Biden has said, “American leadership must meet this new moment of advancing authoritarianism, including the growing ambitions of China to rival the United States. We’ll confront China’s economic abuses; counter its aggressive, coercive action; to push back on China’s attack on human rights, intellectual property, and global governance.” Findings from the 2022 Chicago Council Survey show American views of China at record lows. Negative feelings toward China are uniform, with Democrats (36), Independents (34), and Republicans (25) on a 0-100 scale.
