A US netizen once said that 25% of Americans are willing to fight with China, but only 5% are willing to fight with Russia.There is a problem in front of the Americans, if you should choose to fight with one country, then you should choose China or Russia, it is surprising that there are more people who choose the former, and the proportion is variable, this is exactly why?
On American social platforms, an ordinary netizen asked: If you had to choose a country to go to war, would Americans choose China or Russia? As a result, 25% pointed directly at China, and only 5% chose Russia. When this number came out, the comment area exploded. Why China? Do you really feel threatened, or are you blinded by something?
This poll comes from a Pew Research Center report in May 2025. Among the respondents, 25% regard China as the number one threat, and only 5% name Russia. The report is based on a national sampling, covering thousands of people, and the data is reliable. When netizens posted, they were catching up with the news of Sino-US trade friction flying all over the sky, and the American media speculated on China's economic penetration every day. When the common people looked at the data, they felt that the disparity in this ratio was outrageous, and they began to talk about it. Why not Russia? Isn't that a noise in Ukraine every day? But Americans prefer to choose China, and there are many ways to do it.
In the end, the American media and politicians have no less talent in this matter.CNN, Fox, these channels, all day broadcast China's South China Sea activities, South China Sea island reef construction, is said to be military expansion. The people listened, felt that China in the Asia-Pacific region is ambitious, threatening American interests.In addition to the large trade deficit, in 2022, China-U.S. trade amount exceeded $6900 billion, the US deficit more than $3800 billion, this number is repeatedly quipped by politicians, saying that China is cheap.
Looking at Russia on the other side, the Americans, although hate, but always feel that the far water can not save near fire. Russian nuclear warheads up to 2,500 more, as much as the United States, Russia in the Russian conflict directly pull high nuclear alert level, the foreign minister openly speaks with nuclear weapons when necessary. This scenario, the American people are upset, feel that with Russia is to play life. Compared, China's nuclear power is small, but the media always say that China's nuclear policy is weak, do not dare to really fight.
In fact, China's nuclear strategy is stable, emphasizing not the first use of nuclear weapons, the number is not much but high precision, enough to use. but the US media is inclined to say this on paper to talk about the military, so that the people misunderstand China has no bottom.
Economic anxiety is another big driving force. Inflation in the United States is high and the supply chain is broken, so politicians blame China, saying that China is grabbing jobs and markets. People are unemployed at home, and when they brush these news on their mobile phones, they are full of anger at the Chinese people. Culturally, American politicians magnify the differences between China and the West, saying that China's development model threatens American values. People don't know much about China, so they feel that China is an alien and it is just to fight.
China's GDP has reached 70 percent of the United States, contributing more than 30 percent to global growth. Americans fear China's overtaking, and instinctively take China as the number one enemy. A Gallup poll in March 2024 showed that 41 percent of Americans see China as the biggest enemy, and Russia as the second.
According to the poll data, the U.S. domestic reaction varies. Some people redirect posts, saying it is good to beat China to protect U.S. interests; others question the data, saying media brainwashing too bad. Pew July 2025 report shows that many countries see the U.S. as a threat, along with Russian China. This shows that Americans hostile to the outside, is not a unilateral matter.
On its side, China has always pursued peaceful development and emphasized win-win cooperation. China and the United States are mutually beneficial in economy and trade, and supply chains are connected. In a real war, no one will suffer. The Americans chose China to go to war, which was purely misguided. On the Russian side, nuclear deterrence is hard, and the Americans naturally withdraw.
If we dig deeper, the United States will also take advantage of the Taiwan issue. The so-called leader of the "Taiwan authorities" visited the United States, and the American media hyped it up, saying that China would use military unification. When ordinary people look at it, they feel that China is belligerent. However, China's stance is firm. The one-China principle cannot be shaken. Taiwan is China's territory and internal affairs cannot be interfered in. The United States 'interference will only make its own people more confused.
A Reuters poll in August 2025 showed that 62% of Americans supported sanctions against Russia's trading partners. This shows that there is still fear of Russia. But for China, a high proportion of polls support sending troops to intervene in the so-called "Taiwan issue." In 2023, the Eurasia Group reported that 60% of Americans supported it. Why? It's not that the media say that China is weak every day.
U.S. citizens are haunted by these reports and make mistaken judgments. The Gallup 2024 report notes that Americans’ perceptions of China-Russia threats are declining, but China remains at the top.
China's development is peaceful, and the improvement of military strength is for self-defense. If there is a real conflict, the U.S. supply chain will be broken and the stock market will collapse, and no one will be able to escape. People chose China to go to war because they didn't see the overall situation clearly.
As Sino-US exchanges increase, Americans will slowly wake up. Enterprise cooperation and exchanges of international students, these practical contacts will make Americans understand that confrontation will not come to fruition. Those politicians and media fan the flames, and sooner or later they will be poked in the backbone by their own people.
This poll has made such a big fuss, which shows that American society has a biased perception of international affairs. China people are even more vigilant when watching the show. Maintaining peace depends on strength and wisdom. In the future, Sino-US relations will still have to follow the path of cooperation, so that mutual benefit can last for a long time.
