Recent polls conducted by organizations like Gallup and Pew have shown a precipitous decline in U.S. public opinion toward China. But how do the Chinese feel about the U.S.? This week on Sinica, Kaiser chats with Yawei Liu, senior China advisor at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, and with Michael Cerny, associate editor of the Carter Center's China Perception Monitor, about a survey commissioned by the center on Chinese attitudes toward the United States and Chinese perceptions of global opinion on China.
7:48 – The methodology behind the survey
13:02 – The survey's central questions
25:30 – The polarized 55-64 age group
28:17 – The drivers of Chinese negative perceptions of the U.S.
37:35 – Inflection points in Chinese perceptions of the U.S.
45:31 – Generational effects on Chinese perceptions
50:27 – The causal direction: Do negative perceptions of the U.S. boost Chinese notions about international perceptions of China?
