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 was

Do you believe that the arrival of Chinese immigrants is a positive development, a serious threat or neither for the US?

More than half of Opinion Leaders (53%) and Business leaders (51%) are happy to welcome Chinese immigrants to the US.

The General Public (29%) and Congressional Staff (26%) were not as welcoming. These two groups basically see immigration by the Chinese as neitehr here nor there.

General public (49%) and

Congressional Staff (57%) said it really didn't matter to them if the Chinese immigrated here or not.

What do you think?
