Americans’ views of China have warmed in recent years

Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump will meet this week in Washington. The meeting comes as Americans’ feelings about China have warmed in recent years, even though they remain cold overall.

This Pew Research Center analysis looks at how Americans feel about China and how their views have changed since 2016.

Pew Research Center does research to help the public, media and decision-makers understand important topics. This research builds on more than two decades of work tracking what Americans and people around the world think about China.

This analysis includes findings from a survey of 5,193 U.S. adults conducted from Sept. 14 to 20, 2026. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel. We asked each respondent to rate four of 18 possible countries on the “feeling thermometer.” The results shown here are from the 1,168 U.S. adults who rated China.

Here are the questions used for this analysis, the topline and the survey methodology.

Pew Research Center typically measures favorability – including of China – using a four-point scale, asking people if they have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable view of different countries. Readers (and survey respondents) can easily grasp what favorable and unfavorable mean and the simplicity of the measure makes analysis and reporting straightforward.
