Survey: Chinese put EU ties above others

LONDON - Chinese people view Sino-EU relations more favorably than relations with the United States and many other countries, according to a survey conducted in six major Chinese cities.

Among the respondents, 74.1 percent viewed the European Union positively, while 73.6 percent did so for Russia and 59.9 percent for the United States.

Wang Zhengxu, project coordinator of Chinese View of the EU, and acting director and senior research fellow of the China Policy Institute of the University of Nottingham, revealed the results on Wednesday in London.
