Chinese Americans
A poll was conducted of 354 Chinese Americans who were chosen at random nationwide by from a surname list.
They were asked a series of questions about their attitudes toward China and their views on China and US-China Relations.
Question 10:
Do you believe that China is a dependable ally or friend of the US in the war on terrorism?
More than twice as many Chinese-Americans (56%) see China as someone than can depend on as does the General Public (27%)
There are as many Chinese-Americans who think China is a friend (56%) in this war as there are people in the General Public who think China is NOT a friend (56%).
I wonder why they have such different perceptions.
Why do you think?
And…is China an ally? Not in my book, they aren’t.
These survey results were taken from a poll conducted by the Committee of 100.
The Committee of 100 is a national, nonpartisan organization composed of prominent American citizens of Chinese descent. The members of this group pool their resources to address important issues that concern the Chinese/American community but, Imho, more importantly, foster better US-Greater China relations.
Recently, this group asked the polling firm ZOGBY to conduct an extensive survey of American Attitudes Toward China.
They polled the General Population (General Public) as well as Chinese Americans. Business leaders, Opinion leaders and Congressional staffers, subsets of the general public were also polled.
In keeping with the Committee of 100 ideas, I hope it will create discussion and be used to better understand U.S.-China relations and help those concerned to formulate recommendations on how to improve relationships between these two great countries.
