Global views of U.S. and China
Pew Research Center's slope chart drew 43.6K views on X: 2.9x its typical post and #19 of 53 Pew Research Center charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
In most of the 36 countries we surveyed, people see China more positively than the U.S.
Why it spread
This post spread because it came from an independent author with top quarter source reach, earned 43,556 views, 361 likes, 102 reposts, 17 quotes, and 85 saves, and its quote rate landed in the top quarter, driven by many quotes.
What worked
- The framing is a single clear comparison across 36 countries, which makes the finding easy to grasp and repeat.
- The post text states the conclusion directly, so people can quote it without needing to interpret a complex visual.
- It pairs an independent author with top quarter source reach, giving the claim both credibility and distribution.
What to borrow
We could take one of our own survey findings and state the headline comparison in plain words, then let the chart carry the detail, while keeping the post short enough to be quoted.
Careful
Do not copy the exact claim or assume the same result applies to our audience, and do not over-read the likes, reposts, quotes, saves, or views as proofagy of the chart design alone.
Written by our analysis model from the measured numbers above, not by Pew Research Center.
