Could the world’s two largest economies finally be moving toward trade peace? A new CGTN poll reveals overwhelming global support for U.S.-China collaboration, with 88.5% of respondents demanding Washington drop its anti-China trade measures. 🌐
Mutual Benefits Over 'Winners & Losers'
Over 87% of the 5,130 global participants agreed: "There’s no 'victim' in U.S.-China trade." The data speaks volumes – while America’s goods deficit with China shrank by nearly half since 2018, U.S. service trade with China hit a $27.3 billion surplus in 2024. 💼
"Cooperation Beats Confrontation"
With 71% praising China’s "clear and consistent" trade stance, the poll highlights a global craving for stability. 90.6% blame America’s own economic structure for its trade deficits – not Beijing. As CNN noted: "No one wants a return to April’s standoff." 🔥
The Road Ahead
Nearly 64% believe equal talks can solve disputes. With U.S. companies earning $490.5 billion in China last year (vs. $78.6B the other way), the stakes are sky-high. Will Washington heed the 85.2% who say cooperation protects global supply chains? 🤔
