China’s national strength has risen significantly over the past year, firmly placing the nation among the world’s leading powers and solidifying its position as a global economic powerhouse, according to the recently released “Global Public Opinion Index 2024” report.
The report, published by the Philosophy and Social Science Laboratory of Big Data and National Communication Strategy under the Chinese Ministry of Education, reveals that global public opinion perceives China as having immense potential for future development, increasingly drawing international attention. The findings are based on surveys conducted across 36 major countries and regions worldwide, encompassing various fields such as politics, economy, science and technology, and military strength.
According to the index, China ranks among the top in political influence, economic strength, and scientific and technological capabilities, showcasing a comprehensive enhancement of its overall national power. Moreover, China leads the development potential index, highlighting a strong growth momentum that sets it apart on the global stage.
“The public generally believes that China has evolved into a responsible economic power,” the report notes, emphasizing that the nation’s modern image is increasingly resonating worldwide. China’s portrayal as a dynamic and innovative country has taken root in people’s hearts, with a more positive and proactive image being widely recognized.
The laboratory has been conducting these surveys since 2014, with the Global Public Opinion Index being launched in 2020. Over the years, the index has become a significant barometer of international perceptions regarding China’s development and influence.
This surge in China’s national strength and global image reflects not only its economic advancements but also its growing role in international affairs. For business professionals, investors, and academics, these insights provide valuable perspectives on China’s impact on global markets and geopolitical dynamics. For the global audience and the Asian diaspora, it underscores China’s evolving position and the potential opportunities and challenges that come with its rise.
