The Wuhan pneumonia epidemic quickly spread to the world after the outbreak in China. To avoid its responsibilities, China not only adopted “war wolves” and tough diplomacy to counter external criticism and doubts during the epidemic, but also highlighted “external publicity”, presuming that the prevention of the epidemic is more successful. Other countries followed suit, causing discontent in many countries and damaging international prestige. A recent survey of 14 countries showed that public perception of China in many advanced countries has become increasingly negative in recent years. This trend is even more obvious under the epidemic. The proportion of foreigners who hate China is as high as 73%, including Australia, the UK and Germany. People in eight countries, including the United States and the United States, have set a record for their negative perception of China.
The Pew Research Center surveyed 14,276 people in 14 countries around the world from June 10 to August 3 and announced the survey results on the 6th.

Among them, the most significant growth is the United Kingdom: in 2006, only 14% of British people had a negative view of China, a difference of up to 60% compared to today. In Sweden, which once asked Chinese not to “urinate or defecate anywhere”, 85% of Swedes have negative comments about China, second only to Japan (86%). Only Spain and Italy, people who have negative criticisms of China are “pressured” by 60% (63%, 62%)

However, 48% of people still believe that China is the world’s number one economic power, more than 35% of the United States.
