Global opinions are shifting! A recent CGTN poll, conducted with 5,177 overseas users in multiple languages, shows that people around the world are fed up with U.S. tariff bullying. With a clear call for "justice, not hegemony," over 86.9% of respondents believe countermeasures against U.S. tariffs are a fair way to defend their rights.
The survey highlights that 89.2% urge nations to take more proactive stances on trade issues, while 82.2% expect the multilateral trading system—especially the WTO—to play a stronger role in resolving disputes. Nearly 79.6% support filing lawsuits through the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism, and a striking 87.7% believe no country is immune from these tactics. Even more notably, 93.5% back the idea of building a fair and mutually beneficial international trade order.
This resonates strongly with the fast-paced, digitally connected lifestyle many young professionals in South and Southeast Asia experience every day. Just as tech communities thrive on open collaboration and fair play, a balanced international trade system ensures that every country reaps the benefits. It's all about creating a future where cooperation triumphs over confrontation! 🤝🌏
In a world facing challenges like inflation, mounting debt, and geopolitical tensions, these insights remind us that unity and multilateral solutions are more important than ever. Let's keep the conversation alive and push for an international order that champions shared growth and fairness.
