China is viewed positively across much of the world, a recent study has said, with experts attributing it to the country's governance achievements.
China receives net positive ratings — measured as the percentage of positive views minus negative ones — across most regions surveyed, including the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa, according to the report, commissioned by a Europe-based nonprofit organization in partnership with Nira Data, published earlier in May.
Global country perceptions, part of the report, are based on responses from a sample of 46,600 people across 85 countries and regions, conducted between March 19 and April 21.
Regionally, particularly favorable perceptions of China were found in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as sub-Saharan Africa.
"China's increasingly positive image is a reflection of its concrete achievements: lifting hundreds of millions of its own people out of poverty, building productive infrastructure throughout the Global South, leading the global green energy transition, and consistently advocating for peace, multipolarity, sovereignty and win-win cooperation," Carlos Martinez, cofounder of the Friends of Socialist China platform, told China Daily.
