To test this thesis, The Economist, working with GlobeScan, a consulting and polling firm, asked 32,000 people in 32 countries for their views on China and America between July and September. The results are startling. Since we last asked the question a year ago, China has made big gains as the world’s preferred “leading power”

Preference for China strongly correlates with age: the younger the respondent, the more likely they are to welcome Chinese leadership

When it comes to picking China as the leading power, the largest regional increases were in Latin America and Europe. In Brazil, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and Spain

One has to wonder why OP has posted almost 2k posts in 4 months. All either posting only positive news for China, or negative for Western democracies.

I don’t see this article specifically as positive news - maybe for China, but not for the rest of us.

There are pro-China and anti-China bots galore around here.

Asking “which is better, PRC or USA?”

yeah, no shit fewer and fewer people choose the USA.

Fucking idiotic poll.

But that doesn’t mean that I don’t see what China is doing - spreading propaganda & money & influence everywhere.

Preference for China strongly correlates with age: the younger the respondent, the more likely they are to welcome Chinese leadership

This was my impression too, esp. right here in the Lemmyverse.
