Global opinion of China’s economic growth is mostly positive, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center. In emerging markets, the economic growth of China was overwhelmingly considered a good thing. The sentiment soured a bit when the same question was posed to some of China's Asian neighbors. A large majority of people in African, Middle Eastern, and Latin American countries saw Chinese investment as a good thing. Compared to the United States, the study found that China’s economic influence was roughly par with with the U.S., or slightly better.
