The polling firm infratest dimap asked influential people in business, science and culture in eight countries what they thought of Berlin - and it turns out the Chinese have the most positive image of the capital. The study, conducted for the city's official PR firm Berlin Partner, shows that some 97 percent of Chinese respondents have a positive image of Berlin. Whereas in 2007 some 22 percent of respondents said Berlin was an economic hub, that proportion crept up to 28 percent this year. Similarly 68 percent said they wanted to live in Berlin, and 70 percent said they wanted to work in the city. City authorities were quick to try and take the credit for the improvement in the city’s image.
