2025 Chinese Public Opinion on US Rebounds to Three-Year High
A new study by Tsinghua's CISS shows that the 2025 Chinese public opinion on the US has reached its highest point in three years, indicating a shift in sentiment.
The ice is starting to melt. For the first time in years, the Chinese public's sentiment toward the United States has seen a notable upward shift. According to the Centre for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University, favourability reached a 3-year high in 2025.
Analyzing the 2025 Chinese Public Opinion on US
The annual Chinese Outlook on International Security survey, released on Wednesday, revealed that the share of respondents holding positive views of Sino-US relations increased by a "substantial" margin. While the two nations remain competitors in several sectors, the data suggests that the aggressive rhetoric of the past few years is losing its grip on the general populace's imagination.
Security Concerns and Domestic Nuance
It's not all sunshine and roses, though. Despite the warming sentiment, CISS noted that domestic support for specific security policies remains firm. The public seems to distinguish between cultural/economic favorability and the strategic friction that defines the current geopolitical era. This nuanced view indicates a more pragmatic approach from Chinese citizens as we enter 2026.
