A recent survey by the Committee of 100 (C100), conducted in the US in June 2025, reveals that a majority of Americans support cooperation with China despite increased tensions and policies like tariffs. The survey, released this month, found bipartisan support for reduced tension and greater cooperation on diplomatic issues affecting both countries, with 65% of Democrats and 63% of Republicans in favor. Over half of those surveyed expressed concern about the negative impact of President Trump's rhetoric on US-China relations, particularly its effect on people of Chinese descent. Trump's past use of phrases criticized as racist contributed to these concerns. The survey highlights a desire for cooperation despite the current political climate.
