问题：do the world trust trump administration more or chinese government more?
回答：
During the Trump administration, global opinion polls generally showed that people around the world had
more trust in the Chinese government than in the U.S. administration and President Trump. However, views varied significantly by region and country, and overall favorability for both countries was often low.
Key Findings from Global Polls (during the Trump era)
- Overall Trust in Leadership: Surveys from sources like the Pew Research Center and Gallup consistently found that the median confidence in President Trump was lower than that of Chinese President Xi Jinping across a wide range of surveyed countries. In 2025 (reflecting attitudes during 2024), a median of 24% expressed confidence in Trump, while 25% expressed confidence in Xi across 25 surveyed countries.
- Favorability Ratings: The U.S. general favorability ratings dropped significantly in many allied nations during the Trump presidency, while China's views saw slight improvements in some regions. In 2025 surveys across 10 high-income countries, favorable views of the U.S. (35%) and China (32%) were very close.
- Regional Differences:
- U.S. Allies (e.g., Israel, Japan, South Korea, Poland): People in these countries consistently viewed the U.S. more favorably than China and had higher confidence in Trump than in Xi.
- Middle-Income and Global South Countries (e.g., Mexico, South Africa, Indonesia): China often received higher favorability ratings and confidence in its leader in these nations. In Mexico, for instance, a 2025 poll showed 36% confidence in Xi versus 8% in Trump.
- Perception of Influence and Economy: In recent years, more respondents in various countries believed China's global influence was growing, while fewer believed the same of the U.S.. In some surveys, a higher median percentage of people even saw China as the world's leading economic power over the U.S., a reversal from previous years.
- Reasons for Shifting Opinions: The decline in the U.S. favorability was often linked to the Trump administration's policies, such as withdrawing from international agreements (like the Paris Agreement), trade disputes, and a general shift away from traditional alliances and diplomatic engagement.
In essence, while opinions were complex and dependent on the specific country surveyed, global public opinion, on average, tended to favor the Chinese government and its leader over the Trump administration.
