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.

China has stopped electricity imports from Russia as of January 1, 2026, ending a long‑running cross-border supply.
The halt is driven by elevated export prices in 2026 that surpassed China's domestic rates.
Russia’s Inter RAO had supplied surplus electricity under a 2012 contract with China’s State Grid Corporation.
The contract with State Grid Corporation runs until 2037 and envisioned substantial deliveries.
Russia’s Energy Ministry has not ruled out export resumption if China submits a new request.
China–Russia trade declined in 2025 after a record in 2024, marking the first drop in five years.
The report frames the move within broader energy and price dynamics between the two countries.
The article emphasizes the potential for future resumption if new terms emerge.
