China and Xi are seen more favorably than the US and Trump in many nations, new survey says

A Pew Research Center poll reveals China is viewed more favorably than the US in 25 out of 36 surveyed countries, with Chinese leader Xi Jinping also more positively assessed than US President Donald Trump in 22 countries. The shift is attributed to global tensions under the Trump administration and fading pandemic concerns, marking the first time in 20 years China surpasses the US in positive global perceptions.
