Major Study Shows World Sees USA As Biggest Threat, Prefers China
A comprehensive global study that surveyed tens of thousands of people in nearly 100 countries found that the vast majority see the United States as the biggest threat to the world.
At the same time, more and more nations say they prefer China over the US. China’s approval rating has risen dramatically in the Global South, in particular, where support for the US has plummeted.
These were the results of the 2026 Democracy Perception Index, an annual study conducted by a group called the Alliance of Democracies.
The Alliance of Democracies cannot in any way be accused of being “pro-China” or “anti-US”.
