SINGAPORE – Nearly half of Americans feel that limiting China’s power and influence should be the United States’ top foreign policy priority, and more people are increasingly viewing the East Asian giant as an enemy, a new Pew Research Centre survey showed.
About 49 per cent of those polled said curtailing China’s clout should be the top priority of the US government, while 42 per cent said this should be given some priority. Just 8 per cent said it was not of vital importance.
