A recent CGTN survey of 5,610 global respondents reveals overwhelming support for diplomatic solutions to U.S.-China trade disputes, with 93.3% identifying dialogue as the optimal path forward. The poll comes amid renewed high-level engagement, including May's Geneva economic talks initiated by U.S. counterparts and a pivotal phone discussion between national leaders.
Key findings show 94% of participants emphasize the need for mutual respect in negotiations, while 95.7% urge strict adherence to existing agreements. The data underscores global recognition of both nations' economic interdependence, with 97% rejecting zero-sum approaches to bilateral relations.
"These results reflect growing international consensus," said a trade analyst familiar with the discussions. "From Qingdao's bustling ports to Wall Street boardrooms, stability in U.S.-China relations directly impacts supply chains and markets worldwide."
The survey highlights particular concern about maintaining communication channels, with 90.6% of respondents stressing the need to prevent misunderstandings. Recent developments suggest cautious optimism, as both sides implement measures discussed during their Geneva meeting.
As the world's largest economies navigate complex challenges, 95.5% of participants agree that respecting core interests remains fundamental to productive engagement. The findings reinforce calls for cooperation in addressing global economic uncertainties while managing strategic competition.
Conducted across five language platforms, the 12-hour poll offers timely insights as business leaders and policymakers assess the trajectory of U.S.-China economic ties.
