Poll: China's influence in Latin America seen more positively than US for first time
外媒：民调显示中国在拉丁美洲的影响力比美国更积极正面
A new poll by Latinobarómetro, covering 17 Latin American countries, shows that 65% of respondents view China's influence positively, compared to 57% for the US. This is the first time China has surpassed the US in the survey's history since 1995. The Global Times frames this as a significant shift in regional perceptions, citing factors such as US absence from the region after the Iraq War and China's affordable goods.
The view from inside
The Global Times presents this poll as evidence of China's growing soft power and the declining appeal of the US in Latin America.
