As the new U.S. administration marks its first 100 days in office, a global poll conducted by CGTN shows that America's tariff bullying has led to a rapid rise in anti-American sentiment worldwide. In 37 out of 38 countries surveyed, respondents expressed support for China's countermeasures, with a shared global consensus emerging to jointly uphold the international trade order. 

The surveys for the poll were conducted in February and April this year by CGTN in collaboration with Renmin University of China through the Institute of International Communication in the New Era, covering 15,947 respondents across 38 countries. The respondents included individuals from developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Japan, as well as from developing countries such as Mexico, South Africa and Malaysia.

Per results, 74.2 percent of global respondents said U.S. tariff policies will seriously hinder their own countries' economic development, an increase of 16.3 percentage points over the past two months. Among them, respondents from Saudi Arabia and Serbia showed the largest increase in negative perceptions, both rising by 28.5 percentage points. In Greece and Chile, negative views rose by 26 percentage points, and in Indonesia, by 24 points. Respondents in Malaysia, Israel, Australia, Singapore, the Philippines, Nigeria, Portugal, Pakistan and South Africa also saw increases of over 20 percentage points in negative evaluations of U.S. tariff policy.

As some of the hardest-hit victims of U.S. tariff coercion, respondents from Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia have shown increasing opposition to U.S. trade policies. Among respondents from the five countries mentioned above, 60.2 percent believe that "tightening export controls and unilateral sanctions" are detrimental to their national development, an increase of 15.5 percentage points compared to the previous survey. Additionally, 69.4 percent oppose "restrictions on foreign tech company investments," up by 14.3 percentage points, and 61.5 percent believe that the U.S. effort to "reduce dependence on imports and supply chains" will have a negative impact on their countries, an increase of 12.3 percentage points.

Meanwhile, dissatisfaction with tariff policies is rapidly spreading within the U.S., with a majority of respondents believing it will negatively impact their daily life: 53.1 percent of American respondents believe the "reciprocal tariff" policy undermines stock market; 52 percent of respondents believe it could increase the cost of industrial raw materials; 49.4 percent believe it will hurt agricultural exports; 48.1 percent say it will increase the burden on household budgets; and 43.7 percent are concerned that it could lead to pension reduction.

The United States' tariff bullying has been met with firm countermeasures from China, which have received strong support from global respondents. 

In the 38 countries surveyed, respondents in 37 countries (97.4 percent) showed more support than opposition for China's countermeasures. Among developing countries, respondents from Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Brazil, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Peru, Nigeria, Malaysia, the UAE, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia all showed support rates of over 70 percent, with Kenya leading at 82.5 percent. Respondents from Serbia, Namibia, Mexico, Chile, Pakistan and Argentina all showed support rates of over 60 percent. Among developed countries, the United Kingdom ranked first in the G7 with a support rate of 70.5 percent, followed by Canada, Germany and France with support rates of 69.5 percent, 66 percent, and 65.5 percent, respectively.
