Nearly 80 percent of Canadians hold a negative view of China due to its malign foreign policy, a recent survey found; this negative perception of the communist regime is shared across 24 countries where the same survey was conducted.
A total of 79 percent of Canadians hold an unfavourable opinion of China, an increase of 5 percent from 2022, according to a Pew Research Center survey, published on July 27. Only 14 percent of Canadians see China as favourable or somewhat favourable.
