China could improve its image in the United States by highlighting areas such as tourism and technology and positioning itself as a responsible major power, a survey has concluded.<\/p>\n
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou said that although concepts such as \u201cdecoupling\u201d and \u201cde-risking\u201d had been increasingly prominent in media coverage of China, this had not entirely wiped away positive impressions of the country.<\/p>\n
When evaluating China\u2019s strengths on a scale of 1 to 5, the respondents placed global influence at the top with a score of 4.38, followed by achievements in science and technology at 3.59 and higher education at 3.56.<\/p>\n
The survey found many respondents believed China was contributing to global peace, stability and governance, prompting the researchers to argue that Beijing should reinforce its image as a responsible major power by highlighting its role in United Nations peacekeeping missions, fighting climate change, and providing aid.<\/p>\n
It also emphasised the need to directly address \u201cmisunderstandings\u201d and \u201cscepticism\u201d in international media through greater transparency and openness.<\/p>\n
The researchers also noted that the American public had \u201ca high level of interest\u201d in issues such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tibet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China could improve its image in the United States by highlighting areas such as tourism and technology and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":847064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,9069,550,144,8192,556,5425,3,358364,82006,3998,169002,4870,21,19,22,20,25,24,6132],"class_list":["post-847063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-american","tag-beijing","tag-china","tag-chinese","tag-guangzhou","tag-hong-kong","tag-news","tag-pew-research-centre","tag-sun-yat-sen-university","tag-taiwan","tag-tibet","tag-united-nations","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-xi-jinping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=847063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/847064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=847063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=847063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=847063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
