China not a major threat, US surveys say

A series of US surveys showed that the majority of US citizens do not see China as a major threat.

Newly released polling data from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs indicated that although many in the United States think the rise of China is an important concern, it ranks lower than many other global problems, The Washington Post reported on Friday.

Fifty percent of Americans say China is mostly a partner, both the Chicago Council's polling on China and Pew's surveys of US views of China have found.
