Hey everyone, fresh news from a recent CGTN poll! As the U.S. administration marks its first 100 days, nearly 16,000 respondents across 38 countries are speaking up about the impact of U.S. tariff policies.
The survey reveals that 74.2% of people believe these tariffs are seriously hindering their countries' economic progress—up by 16.3 percentage points recently. In places like Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Greece, and Chile, opposition to these policies has spiked dramatically. 😲
Young professionals in tech-driven regions such as Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia are particularly vocal. They point out how measures like tighter export controls and restrictions on foreign tech investments could hurt national growth and everyday life.
Interestingly, the poll also found that in 37 out of 38 surveyed nations, there is overwhelming support (97.4%) for countermeasures designed to uphold a fair international trade order. This near-universal backing highlights how people around the world are eager for stability and fairness in global trade. 🌏
Even inside the U.S., more than half of the respondents are worried. Concerns range from potential impacts on the stock market to rising costs in household budgets and industrial raw materials.
These insights underline a broader global call for balanced trade policies that consider real-life impacts. What do you think about these trends? Let's keep the conversation going! 🎤
