A global survey of about 26,000 people across 21 countries finds most expect China to gain more global influence in the coming decade.
South Africa, Brazil and Turkey lead in believing China will have greater global influence, with 83%, 72% and 63% respectively.
In the United States, 54% share the view that China will increase its influence, with similar averages across the 10 EU countries surveyed.
The report notes that many non-Western publics view China as a legitimate global partner rather than a zero-sum rival.
The survey occurred in November 2025, before the U.S. action in Venezuela and amid shifting U.S. and European views of China.
The report highlights a multipolar world where non-Western countries gain voice in international relations.
Respondents in several regions see China rising in technology, manufacturing and energy leadership within a decade.
Some publics still view the U.S. as an ally or necessary partner, though support varies by country.
Some EU states see the U.S. as a rival or adversary, signaling shifting transatlantic perceptions.
The report ties shifts in views to Trump-era policy and broader strategic competition, with cautions about a bipolar world.
