WASHINGTON – Tensions between the United States and China have most people in Asia concerned, although views vary according to how favourably they view each superpower, according to a poll released on Monday.
The poll found that roughly 90 per cent of people are very or somewhat worried about a geopolitical confrontation between the US and China.The survey report’s authors noted that people with more favourable views of the US are more likely to see tensions with China as threatening their national security.
Singaporeans are also the most likely to believe they will benefit economically from both countries competing, with about 28 per cent of Singaporeans holding that view, compared to 14 per cent of Filipinos and just 6 per cent of South Koreans. But Singapore is once again split in that regard. Some 63 per cent think China’s influence has been positive, while 64 per cent think the same of the US.Singaporeans are also more split on whether the US system of government sets a good example for their country, in contrast to their neighbours, who overwhelmingly see US governance as a positive example.
