China has emerged 'far stronger' than the U.S. from the pandemic, says Paul Krugman

The U.S. has a "much diminished" reputation after it fails to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, while China has been effective at coping with the outbreak, says Paul Krugman, a Nobel prize-winning economist.

Unfavorable Views of China Reach Historic Highs in Many Countries

Across 14 advanced nations, a median of 61% say China has done a bad job in handling the coronavirus outbreak. And at least seven-in-ten in each of these countries have little or no confidence in President Xi Jinping.

Unfavorable Views of China Reach Historic Highs in Many Countries
Majorities say China has handled COVID-19 outbreak poorly

Views of China have grown more negative in recent years across many advanced economies, and unfavorable opinion has soared over the past year, a new 14-country Pew Research Center survey shows. Today, a majority in each of the surveyed countries has an unfavorable opinion of China. And in Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United States, South Korea, Spain and Canada, negative views have reached their highest points since the Center began polling on this topic more than a decade ago.


Negative views of China increased most in Australia, where 81% now say they see the country unfavorably, up 24 percentage points since last year. In the UK, around three-quarters now see the country in a negative light – up 19 points. And, in the U.S., negative views of China have increased nearly 20 percentage points since President Donald Trump took office, rising 13 points since just last year.


The rise in unfavorable views comes amid widespread criticism over how China has handled the coronavirus pandemic. Across the 14 nations surveyed, a median of 61% say China has done a bad job dealing with the outbreak. This is many more than say the same of the way the COVID-19 pandemic was handled by their own country or by international organizations like the World Health Organization or the European Union. Only the U.S. receives more negative evaluations from the surveyed publics, with a median of 84% saying the U.S. has handled the coronavirus outbreak poorly.

US cries about Huawei, not China, it's just a privately owned company, China has so many of them. US doesn't cry? US should cry, the country is in deep trouble and has problems coming from all directions.

what does this post have to do with @beijingwalker 's perfect response to your trolling empty post????

WHITE COUNTRIes are always insecure whenever any non-white country has power - it was Iran and Iranophobia, now its CHina and Sinophobia..if you cant see the pattern and understand the insecure mentality of white countries towards non-white strong countries, then you're blind and dont want to see it

you'll keep getting surprised though, cuz you're in denial. THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. No western countries is actually willing to dominate or contest China militarily today.

People despise failure and sign of weakness. We tend to have a longer memories of those.

As for the (alleged or real) bad stuff people do not like, they tend to feel strongly in the beginning, then forget.

The US had favorable views regardless of all the wars and interventions that caused grief and loss in all over the world for two centuries now. For most of those that feel strongly against the US still tended to forget.

That would be true for China with respect to the allegations of COVID-19 response. A bit of good old public diplomacy would even speed the forgetting process up. Think of Obama's first term apology tour in the Middle East after 8 years of GW Bush disaster and agony. Strong feelings will diminish shortly after the problem is over as long as China continues to deliver strong results in development-related fields.

Yet, now the US looks more of a miserable than a bad actor. That will stick. People will not easily forget the weakness, divisiveness, hatred, corruption, and abject violence they daily watch on TV and the Internet.

Very much like how failing states never elicit genuine respect no matter how cute and cuddly they may attempt to be. The memory of US misery will live longer than the COVID even if the US somehow manages to overcome the challenges.

I hope it does overcome and achieve peace because, in a globalized world, there is not much of an 'isolated suffering'. In such a world, wishing bad upon others often equals to wishing something bad upon oneself, as well.
