If negative views of your company increased by 26 percentage points over a decade, you would have a major problem on your hands.
In a January 2017 survey by Pew Research Center of Americans, 65% said China is either an adversary (22%) or a serious problem (43%), while only about a third (31%) said China is not an issue. And in a separate spring 2016 survey, a majority (55%) of Americans held an unfavorable opinion of what more and more Americans see as their largest Asian rival.
In the United States, negative views of China have increased by 26 percentage points between 2006 and 2016. And American negativity toward China has been higher than Chinese negativity toward the US in every year since 2014.
Without a research-based, robust, and deliberate public affairs effort, how Americans perceive and comprehend China will only continue to slip into a more negative territory.
For far too long America's business and civic leadership has overly relied on a model dependent on high-level government relationships, support from the White House, and the commitment of multinational companies to manage the US-China relationship.
This model to manage the US-China relationship is broken and exhausted.
With ever increasing media coverage, more industries seeking protectionism tactics, and an American electorate increasingly looking to blame nations on their standing, it is time for new voices, new allies, and engagement beyond the beltway.
