Positive views of the US got a Biden bounce across 17 advanced economies, a new Pew Research Center survey finds, while negative views of China and Xi Jinping persist.

A change of leadership appears to be yielding public relations dividends for the United States. Positive views of the US among advanced economies are improving since President Joe Biden took office, while negative views of China and its President Xi Jinping – who has been in the job since 2013 – continue to hover near historic highs. That is the finding of the latest Pew Research Center survey of 17 advanced economies in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region.
