A poll from Pew Research Center conducted throughout March and released this week found that two-thirds of adults in the U.S. had an unfavorable view of China — the highest unfavorable rating the country has received in the 15 years that the research center has asked the question. Just 26% of respondents reported a favorable view of China, tying with the lowest level, which was set last year.

China's unfavorability has jumped 20 percentage points since President Trump took office in 2017. While more Republicans have unfavorable views of the nation than Democrats, both parties have followed a similar trend in growing distaste and reported their highest unfavorability ratings to date.


Nearly 9 out of 10 respondents reported that they see China as a threat to the U.S., with 62% listing the country as a "major threat." Respondents listed China's effect on the environment, cybersecurity, and trade as areas of concern.
