Few Europeans confident in Xi as China’s economic influence grows

In all but one of the 10 European countries surveyed, majorities said in a spring 2018 survey that they had no confidence in Xi to do the right thing regarding world affairs.

The Spanish

were the most skeptical of him, with more than three-quarters (79%) lacking confidence,

French (69%),

Greeks (64%)

Italians (64%).

A substantial portion of Europeans –

roughly two-in-ten or more in Poland, Greece, Hungary and Italy – did not express an opinion on Xi.

Opinions of China as a nation were similarly low in Europe.

Only in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands did roughly half have a positive opinion of China.
