Four groups in America were polled about their impressions of China -

1. General Public

2. Opinion Leaders

3. Congressional Staff

4. Business Leaders

One question they were asked is

How do you view China's Emergence as a Global Economic Power?

Does Trade with China benefit the US economy?

Though 60% (General Public) to 88% (Congressional Staff) see China as a potential or serious threat, none of the groups are about to back down when it comes to trade with
the dragon.

One in four of the general public (26%) and nearly one in three of the Congressional
staff (31%) think its not good for the US economy. But after that, its all uphill or
downhill, depending on whether your are the one in those four who disagree.
