As many as 86 percent of respondents to a global online survey conducted by CGTN believe that the key to maintaining a healthy and stable development of China-U.S. relations is to take practical measures to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries at their November 2022 meeting in Bali.
Compared to the survey conducted four months ago, the proportion holding this view has increased by 4.1 percentage points.
Ninety-one percent of respondents believe in the healthy development of China-U.S. relations should be based on mutual respect and equal treatment. The proportion of respondents who share this view has increased by 2.1 percentage points from four months ago.
Meanwhile, 92 percent of respondents believe that China-U.S. relations are not a zero-sum game and any attempt to transform and suppress the other side is unrealistic. The proportion of respondents with the same view has increased by 8.3 percentage points over the past four months.
According to 83.2 percent of respondents, China and the U.S. should objectively understand each other's strategic intentions, effectively deal with the competitive factors in China-U.S. relations, and discover commonalities. Seventy-seven percent of respondents urged the two countries to maintain full communication, prevent misunderstandings and miscalculations, and push China-U.S. relations to return to healthy and stable development as soon as possible. As one netizen said, "An open dialogue between the two superpowers of China and the U.S. will bring fruitful results for all mankind."
Some 73.5 percent of respondents from around the world say China and the United States should strengthen cooperation in areas such as energy, food security and climate change to improve global governance. Another 65.8 percent of respondents urged China and the U.S. to expand cooperation in areas such as resolving regional conflicts and addressing global governance issues, and to contribute great power wisdom to global prosperity.
The poll was published on CGTN's platforms in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Russian and was voted on by more than 10,000 network users within 24 hours. CGTN published global online polls in February, July and November this year on China-U.S. relations, with a total of more than 70,000 global networks participating and expressing their views.
