"The poll, of nearly 26,000 respondents in 13 European countries, the US, China, India, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and South Korea, found majorities in almost every territory surveyed expected China's global influence to grow over the next decade.

These ranged from 83% in South Africa, 72% in Brazil and 63% in Turkey through 54% in the US, 53% in 10 EU states and 51% in India to 50% in the UK. Most EU citizens expected China to soon lead the world in electric vehicles and renewable energies.

Moreover, few seemed concerned about it. The polling found that only in Ukraine and South Korea did majorities view China as a rival or an adversary, while more people in South Africa, India and Brazil saw China as an ally than they did two years ago.

In South Africa (85%), Russia (86%), and Brazil (73%), majorities view China either as a necessary partner or as an ally. The EU view was unchanged: 45% see China as a necessary partner. Many countries expect their relationship with China to strengthen."
