Chinese-Americans view Taiwan more favourably than they do China, Pew survey finds

Chinese-American adults hold more positive views of Taiwan than of China, but see China more favourably compared to other Asian-Americans, according to a survey by Pew Research Centre released on Wednesday.

Chinese-Americans also stood out for being the only Asian group not to have a mostly favourable impression of their ancestral homeland. Just 41 per cent had a “very” or “somewhat” favourable impression of China, according to the survey of US-based Asian-identifying adults.
