They Hate You Because You Stopped Giving Them Money
The Pew Research Survey that Claims the US is Not Favorable
The BBC went out of it’s way to report on polling that took place by Pew Research in 2026. The survey asked 42K people in 36 countries between February and May which country had a more favorable view. Pew found that China was the darling of the world when compared to the big evil United States. At did the compromised BBC follow the money.
All of the countries that turned their support to China are now sucking from their Communists teet. Yes, that’s right, China filled the gap when the United States stopped funding the countries. This is basic journalism. You ask where the money is flowing and then you look at the results. Unless of course you’re a socialist run rag like the BBC is.

Think Critically
Act Accordingly
Recent headlines highlighted a Pew survey showing China viewed more favorably than the United States in 25 out of 36 countries. Gallup showed similar trends. At first glance, it looks like the world is turning against America.
But look closer at *which* countries are shifting, and the real story emerges.
These are largely the same developing nations that saw major cuts in US foreign aid starting January 2025. On day one of the new administration, an executive order froze nearly all US foreign assistance for review. The result? Sharp reductions in funding to countries across Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia — places like Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and others that now show higher favorability for China.
Meanwhile, China kept the cash flowing. Through its Belt and Road Initiative, Beijing poured billions into infrastructure and construction projects. In 2025 alone, major recipients included Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt — often tens of billions in loans and investments.
The pattern is clear: When the US pulled back financing, China stepped in. Public opinion followed the money.
This is about money. All of them can be bought.
Investment
Keep in Mind China isn’t transparent (The US is sorta transparent). They do not discuss their loans. It’s a big Communist secret.
Country-by-Country Summary (Using Pew-Listed Countries)
Data is approximate/pre-cut (mostly 2023–2024 figures from USAID/ForeignAssistance.gov, AidData, etc.); exact post-cut figures vary. Many developed countries (e.g., Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Greece) receive little/no traditional US development aid.
Pakistan (strong China favorability margin):
US: ~$200M+ annually pre-cuts (security, health, development); significant cuts reported.
China: Major BRI/CPEC partner; tens of billions in loans/investments historically (energy, infrastructure). Ongoing engagement.
Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore:
US: Tens to low hundreds of millions (e.g., Indonesia ~$60M+); health/education/governance programs hit.
China: Significant BRI infrastructure/loans (Indonesia ~$70B+ cumulative state-backed finance; Thailand investments). China stepped into some gaps but more loans than grants.
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka:
US: Bangladesh ~$300M+ pre-cuts; notable humanitarian/development.
China: Major BRI loans/infrastructure (ports, power); debt concerns in Sri Lanka historically. China positioned as alternative.
Turkey:
US: Variable (security-focused); cuts affected programs.
China: Growing economic ties/BRI interest; less dominant than in Asia/Africa.
Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina (Latin America):
US: Mexico variable (border/migration-related); others lower amounts in development.
China: Expanding BRI/investments/trade; loans and projects in mining/infrastructure. Opportunistic gains from US retreat.
Greece, Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Canada:
Primarily high-income/developed; minimal traditional US development aid. Relations more trade/security-focused. China influence via trade/investments, not aid replacement.
South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya:
US: High recipients—Kenya ~$400M+, Nigeria/South Africa hundreds of millions (health/HIV/malaria dominant). Severe impacts on programs.
China: Major BRI player (Nigeria high construction volume ~$24B in recent data; loans/investments across Africa). Some health/education projects stepped in, but fraction of prior US scale.
West Bank:
US: Significant Palestinian aid historically (humanitarian/governance); heavily impacted by cuts.
China: Increased diplomatic/economic outreach.
