Around the world, people believe the global balance of power is shifting. China’s economic power is on the rise, and many think it will eventually supplant the US as the world’s dominant superpower. However, China’s increasing power has not led to more positive ratings for the People’s Republic, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center conducted in 39 countries among more than 37,000 respondents from March to May, 2013. Find out more about the survey results which looks at Chinese favorability around to the world, the growing appreciation of China as an economic superpower and attitudes toward China's rising military strength and territorial disputes with other nations. The survey also includes the first ever assessment of Chinese soft power in Africa and Latin America as well as a comparison with attitudes toward the same aspects of American power.
