A recent study by U.S. polling institute Morning Consult marks a historic turning point: for the first time since the beginning of its surveys, China has surpassed the United States in global popularity rankings. The timing is no coincidence - the inauguration of Donald Trump in January 2025 represents a watershed moment that extends far beyond U.S. domestic politics. The once-powerful American narrative of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law is losing its international appeal. The so-called "Trump effect" is having an impact and reshaping global sympathies.

Conclusion: Anyone who wants to understand global dynamics must rethink China.
