China's Reputation Takes Big Hit Among Americans

China has plunged to its second-lowest favorability level among U.S. voters, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.

In the most recent national online I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,369 voters, taken Aug. 2-4, the proprietary index of how Americans feel towards China, the U.S.'s main global rival, fell an entire point from 28.1 in July to 27.1 in August.

Further complicating the picture is the fact that, when looking at voter ideology and China favorability, there is surprisingly little difference among the various affiliations.

With U.S. companies reducing their investments in China, many Americans are likely to focus more on military threats, spying and China's reversion to communist-style governance than on buying ever-cheaper goods from the country - especially after China has recently been credibly accused of violating human rights and using slave labor.

A handful of Republican candidates have already called for the revocation of "Permanent Normal Trade Status" with China because of its growing hostility towards the U.S. PNTS might not sound like much, but it was a gift to China after it was admitted into the World Trade Organization in 2001.

The big political debate over China is about to begin in earnest.
