featuring

and
Bruce Stokes
Director, Global Economic Program
Pew Research Global Attitudes Project
The US-China Business Council (USCBC) is pleased to invite you to attend a special presentation of Pew’s recent research on how the world views the US and China.
Pew’s Global Attitudes Project finds that publics around the world believe the global balance of power is shifting. China’s economic power is on the rise, and many think it will eventually supplant the United States as the world’s dominant superpower.
However, China’s increasing power has not led to more positive ratings for the People’s Republic. Overall, the US enjoys a stronger global image than China. Across the nations surveyed, a median of 63% express a favorable opinion of the US, compared with 50% for China.
Globally, people are more likely to consider the US a partner to their country than to see China in this way, although relatively few think of either nation as an enemy. America is also seen as somewhat more willing than China to consider other countries’ interests. Still, both of these world powers are widely viewed as acting unilaterally in international affairs.
This program will feature two experts from the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project, Richard Wike and Bruce Stokes. Wike, associate director of the Global Attitudes Project, conducts research and writes about public opinion on a variety of topics, including America's image in the world, views of China and other major powers, globalization, democracy, terrorism, and economics. Stokes is the director of global economic attitudes in the Global Attitudes Project, where he assesses public and expert views about economic conditions, values and policies.
This event is for USCBC members and invited guests. Space in the meeting room is limited and RSVPs will be taken first-come, first-served.
A dial in conference option is available for this program. Please contact [email protected] to request the conference number.
