China emerges stronger from trade war with US

block
Global Times :
China has manifested growing strength in China-US competition, and that the essence of the trade war initiated by the US is targeted toward the economy and high technology, a Global Times’ survey showed.
The survey further revealed some countries have clearly realised the US’ hegemony and China’s indomitable fight against the US’ hegemony has been recognised worldwide.
The poll was conducted from November 20 to December 3 by the Global Times’ Global Poll Centre wherein the respondents were residents aged above 18 in 17 countries across five continents including China, the US, UK, France, and Japan. The poll collected response to 17,496 questionnaires.
While selecting the countries, the survey took into account the newly-emerging economies, important neighbouring countries, major world powers, developing countries and countries along the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.
Around 59 per cent of residents in 17 countries surveyed believed that China-US relations are the most influential bilateral relation in today’s world. The survey showed that the influence of China-US relations on public opinions could to some extent prevent the two countries from falling into the trap of conflicts and confrontations. And mutual respect, understanding and joint development conform to the global mainstream opinion.
The trade war initiated by the US is the most high-profile head-to-head tiff between China and the US in 2019.
The survey showed that almost 60 per cent of the respondents believe China’s strength has mounted dramatically during the China-US friction although the US is still in a strong position, up 11.4 per cent compared with the 2018 survey.
The acknowledgment of China’s growing strength in the wake of the China-US battle is a reflection of the 17 countries’ residents recognising the growth of China’s overall national strength and global position.
In response to the question regarding the nature of the China-US trade war, around 40 per cent chose the economic battle, around 35 per cent chose technology, around 31 per cent went for the containment of China while the rest opined trade protectionism.
More than 62 per cent of Kenyan respondents agreed that the nature of the China-US trade war is essentially a competition in high technologies.
