Pew: US public sentiment toward China warms ahead of Xi-Trump summit

A Pew Research Center report shows Americans' average feeling thermometer rating of China rose to 37 from 28 in 2021, indicating a modest warming of public sentiment ahead of Xi Jinping's state visit to the US. The improvement, while still negative overall, may reflect shifting perceptions amid ongoing strategic competition. The summit's outcome remains uncertain, but this shift in public opinion could influence political dynamics around the meeting.
