During this presentation, public opinion expert Richard Wike will explore the global images of the United States and China, drawing on the Pew Research Center’s extensive survey research on this topic, including a new poll of 16 countries: Australia, Canada, China, India, Japan, the U.S. and 10 nations from the European Union. As the Obama presidency draws to a close, Dr. Wike will share data on global perceptions of the American leader as well as attitudes toward presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. He will also examine international attitudes toward China and views about the balance of power between the U.S. and China, including key findings from a major 2015 survey on public opinion in the Asia-Pacific region regarding the U.S. strategic “pivot” toward Asia.
