The emergence of China as an economic superpower

Four groups in America were polled about their impressions of China -

1. General Public

2. Opinion Leaders

3. Congressional Staff

4. Business Leaders

One question they were asked is

Please list the areas you consider the most signifcant problems or causes for concern.

Here are the choices -

1.  Human rights

2.  Loss of US jobs

3.  china's military modernization

4.  Environmental Degradation

5.  Forced abortions and family planning

6.  China out-performing the US in science and technology

7.  The banking system

8.  Intellectual property rights

9.  Political influence buying

10. Other or not sure....

Of those ten choices, 5 stood out as potential problem areas with each group feeling
one area as more problematic than others.

The first is

Human rights - as if the US had any right to talk. But then, this is a survey of what
people think, not what is right and wrong.

Opinion Leaders worry about this the most - 64%

Congressional Staff are next at 54%

Business leaders followed at 49%

and

the General public (46%) - most of whom cannot find Oklahoma on a map much less Tibet.
