(GALLUP) Americans view China, not Russia, as the greatest adversary

Dated: March 13, 2023 by Sharyl Attkisson 5 Comments

      

The following is an excerpt from Gallup News.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Half of Americans say China is the United States’ greatest enemy
  • Since the pandemic, China has held the top spot as the greatest enemy
  • Democrats and Republicans have different views on who is the top enemy

For the third year in a row, Americans are most likely to mention China as the United States’ greatest enemy in the world today.

When asked the open-ended question, 50% of Americans say China is their nation’s greatest enemy, with most of the rest, 32%, naming Russia.

North Korea, which was viewed as the greatest enemy in 2018, is now a distant third at 7%.

The latest results are from Gallup’s Feb. 1-23 World Affairs survey, coinciding with widespread reporting of China’s balloon-carried surveillance device being shot down over U.S. waters.

There has also been growing concern in the U.S. about China’s alleged backing of Russia in the Ukraine conflict and its association with the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic.

China’s position atop this year’s list is notable for extending the longest stretch of time such a large proportion of Americans have agreed on what country represents the United States’ greatest enemy.

The highest level of consensus on this question since Gallup launched it in 2001 was for North Korea in 2018, with 51% naming it. But that tumbled to 14% the following year after former President Donald Trump worked to defuse U.S.-North Korea tensions.

While Iran topped Gallup’s greatest enemy list five times between 2006 and 2012, it did so with far fewer Americans naming it than name China today, topping out at 32%. That was also the percentage naming Russia when it topped the list in 2019.

In addition to China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, Iraq has also led the list, in 2001 and 2005. (Continued...)

    Both Russia and China are adversaries but Russia is militarily and economically weak compared to China.. Russia wants to confine to Europe but China wants to challenge and replace the U. S. as a global superpower. China more provocative and confrontational so became enemy #1.

    No kidding. I have never trusted the CCP! Even back when we were using them to spy on the USSR.

    I'd like to hear an apology from all the members of the herd who believed the narrative re Donald Trump and Russian collusion. The entire ploy stank from the start. The adage: "The enemy of my enemy is my ally"--is why Russia stands to gain from the US and our constitution. As I recall, Russia has aided US in the past. In general, American citizens are poorly educated re American history. https://russiancouncil.ru/en/blogs/alexey-viryasov/how-russia-saved-the-united-states-twice/
