Topic: news China’s International Image and Influence: What Foreigners “Really” Think

And all this statistical analysis means....just what? The article has selected the two extremes as examples of a love / hate relationship a couple of countries have with China. It would have been interesting to see how the figures came out from countries like the USA, Australia and the UK. The problem with the survey is that the questions were directed to people not living in China it seems and these same people got their news about China from newspapers and television. I'm not sure that what is reported in those media is 100% reliable. The international image that China likes to portray is, I feel, somewhat different to reality. How about the same survey questions asked of existing foreign residents in China? It would be interesting to see whether the perceptions of those of us who live and work here is in any way similar to the results we see presented in this article. I'm thinking not.
