Chinese Public Opinion: 73% Have Positive View of Pakistan, Second Only to Russia
A recent public opinion survey conducted in China revealed that 73% of respondents have a positive view of Pakistan, second only to Russia which is seen positively by 80% of respondents. About 18% of Chinese survey participants have a negative view of Pakistan while 9% are neutral. The results of this survey show that the oft-repeated talk of China and Pakistan being " iron brothers " is not just official rhetoric; it is actually supported by the Chinese people. It is also evident in the fact that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is transforming Pakistan's least developed area . Other nations enjoying favorable views among the Chinese include Singapore (66%), North Korea (62%), and Germany (61%).
