China overtakes U.S. in global favorability

China now enjoys a more favorable public image around the world than the United States, according to a Pew survey published Wednesday. The poll of 42,151 people in 36 countries shows that America’s global reputation has suffered during President Donald Trump’s “America First” era, while perceptions of China have become more positive. The survey also shows more people “have more confidence” in President Xi Jinping than President Trump.
