    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Public opinion in Bangladesh has shifted from being almost evenly split between Washington and Beijing to leaning firmly towards China, driven almost entirely by a collapse in favourable views of the US. The findings come from a comparison of the Pew Research Center's 2024 and 2026 surveys on global perceptions of the US and China. Bangladeshis already viewed China (55 percent in 2024) slightly more favourably than the US (52 percent in 2024). China’s lead grew from 3 percentage points in 2024 t
