The Pew Research Center reported on July 27 that, “for the first time in almost two decades of the center’s surveys, both Canadians and Mexicans now view China more favorably than their shared neighbor, the US,” according to an article published by Global Times on July 28. Global Times notes that “this shift in public opinion is a bellwether, indicating that China’s sustained and consistent foreign policy has gained wider acceptance internationally, and that the US’s doctrine of placing its own interests above those of all other countries is eroding Washington’s global influence.”
The report shows that in 2023, half of Mexican adults said that the U.S. contributed to peace and stability around the world, but only 28 percent say the same today.
