Foreign Media: Europeans believe China has replaced the United States as a global superpower | | superpowers _ China News

Reference news network on May 14, US media reports said if the Europeans coincided with Donald Trump on the thing, that is the United States lost to China. China is working hard to improve its image in Europe, by the way is also investing a lot of money. Chinese are to win friends and influence.

According to Bloomberg website May 12, 2015, Pew Global found in major European countries, the vast majority of people think China will replace the United States as the world's superpower, or that China has overtaken the United States.

Article says, the same study showed that Germany and France, more and more people believe that China – and not the United States--is the world's leading economies. That was before the recent economic troubles in China, but I'm afraid it would not significantly affect public opinion: China and Chinese-made goods store popular in Europe--United States goods hard to find-will continue to nourish the somewhat immature opinions.

All of this does not seem to make Europeans feel very happy. Overall, their distrust of China than the United States. According to the Pew study, 83% of Italy and 50% of Germans to the United States have a crush, and fond of Chinese 40% and 34%, respectively. Even so, these views have been changed in recent years.

And in some ways, like increase can be explained by access to more Chinese. Europe in the number of Chinese tourists has doubled in the past four years. Half of them Millennials – compared to their parents, their younger generation has more in common with Europe. They love freedom and pursuit of pleasure, more accommodating.

Article said, there is a Chinese immigrant. Last year, the Chinese are following the India people newly arrived after the EU's second largest group--not a refugee from the war zones in the Middle East. From Prague to Lisbon, community shops are often run by Chinese immigrants, these industrious people also continue to operate after the others were closed. Then there is the inflow of money from China – more than ever before. Europe is China's direct investment in priority areas. Last year, Chinese companies invested a record 23 billion dollars in Europe, United States only $ 15 billion.

Overall, the United States investment in Europe still is much more abundant. However, in some countries, Chinese investors than the United States are more active. For example, in Italy, to the favorability increases, China's most populous country, China has contributed $ 7.8 billion, and the United States only $ 434 million. In France, investment in China than the United States.

As China expanded its influence in the Western world and Europe compared to the United States are more likely to be accepted. The Carnegie Endowment at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace wrote in a recent article: "compared to Americans, Europeans are more contradictions, generally less negative sentiment in China because they don't have the great Power rivalry, and some people sometimes feel the need with the United States-led initiative distanced. ”

Article said that while the United States is still considered to be a more natural allies, but China's bid to the acceptance of the European patience is beginning to pay off, especially in the more demand in Europe, countries with weaker economies. (Compile/tuqi)

外媒:欧洲人认为中国已取代美国成全球超级大国|中国|超级大国_新闻资讯

　　参考消息网5月14日报道 美媒称，如果说欧洲人在一件事上与唐纳德·特朗普不谋而合的话，那就是美国正在败给中国。中国正在努力提高其在欧洲的形象，顺便还投资了很多的钱。中国人正在赢得影响力和朋友。

　　据彭博社网站5月12日文章，2015年，皮尤的一项全球研究发现，在欧洲主要国家，绝大多数人认为中国将取代美国成为全球超级大国，或者说中国已经取代美国了。

　　文章称，同一项研究表明，在德国和法国，越来越多的人认为中国——而不是美国——是世界领先的经济体。这是在中国最近遭遇经济麻烦之前，但这恐怕不会大幅度影响公众的看法：中国的体量以及中国制造的商品在欧洲商店的流行——美国商品很难找到——将继续助长这种多少有点不成熟的看法。

　　这一切似乎没有让欧洲人感到特别高兴。整体而言，他们对中国的不信任仍比对美国多一些。根据皮尤的研究，83％的意大利人和50％的德国人对美国有好感，而对中国有好感的分别为40％和34％。即便如此，这些看法近年来一直在改变。

　　在某种程度上，好感的大幅提升可以用接触到更多中国人来加以解释。访欧的中国游客数量在过去四年里翻了一番。其中一半是千禧一代——相比其父辈，他们与欧洲的年轻一代拥有更多的共同点。他们更热爱自由，更追求享乐，更随和。

　　文章称，还有就是中国移民。去年，中国人是继印度人之后新抵达欧盟的第二大群体——不算从中东交战区来的难民。从布拉格到里斯本，社区小店常常都是中国移民开的，这些勤劳的人在别人都关门后还继续营业。再有就是中国流入的钱——比以前更多了。欧洲是中国直接投资优先考虑的地区。去年，中国企业向欧洲投入了创纪录的230亿美元，美国只有150亿美元。

　　总体而言，美国在欧洲的投资仍然要丰富得多。然而在一些国家，中国投资者已经比美国更活跃了。例如在意大利，也就是对中国好感度增加最多的国家，中国贡献了78亿美元，而美国只有4.34亿美元。在法国，中国的投资也多于美国。

　　随着中国扩大其在西方世界的影响，欧洲相较于美国更容易被接受。卡内基国际和平基金会的黄育川在最近的一篇文章中写道：“相比美国人，欧洲人更加矛盾一些，一般来说对中国的负面情绪少一些，因为其中没有那么多大国竞争，有的人有时还感到有必要与美国主导的倡议撇清。”

　　文章称，虽然美国仍被认为是一个更自然的盟友，但中国争取欧洲人的接纳的耐心努力正开始得到回报，特别是在欧洲那些更有需求、经济较弱的国家。（编译/涂颀）
