Western comics, just for a laugh
Don't doubt it, this is not a copycat report.
This 2022 global trust survey is from Edelman, a well-known public relations firm in the United States. Since 2000, one a year, the industry authority.
The Americans reported it, but the world was taken aback. Because the performance of China in it is almost completely different from the China in the impression of many Westerners, it also allows the world to see a relatively real China.
Let's start with this report.
Completion: November 1 to 24, 2021;
Survey method: online questionnaire;
Number of respondents: 36,000 in 28 countries.
28 countries, which are:

South Africa
Australia
Canada
Spain
Netherlands
Ireland

Nigeria.
Various systems of countries have, in a word, covering the world's major countries.
The world's 28 national congresses compete to fight for the trust of the country.
First look at the overall list, the degree of trust in the country.
According to Deutsche Welle, "China is the biggest winner."
China's trust level is 83%, ranking first in the world.
2021 is the second in the world, but a year later, China's score has increased by a full 11 percentage points, and it is the only country with more than 80% trust.
Very interesting sorting.
If we look at the United States again, trust is 48% in 2021 and 43% in 2022, down another 5 percentage points. According to the report, Americans' trust in the country has fallen by a full 10 percentage points since 2017.
You can pay attention to the color,
In the dark blue part, the country is trusted by the people;
Red sector, the people do not trust the country.
The United States, Britain, Spain, Japan, Germany, etc., the people do not trust the country.
Looking at the sub-list, the people's trust in their own government.
The Chinese government has 91% trust and is the first in the world.
Moreover, it has increased by 9 percentage points from the previous year, and is the only country with more than 90% trust.
Why is that?
Edelman CEO Deborah Lehr believes that this is based on the performance of governments.
In her opinion,
China was the only major economy to grow in 2020 and will maintain this momentum for most of 2021. Although China's epidemic prevention policy is strict, it has successfully controlled the epidemic and built confidence for the people.
The rapid recovery of normal life, accurate epidemic prevention and control, efficient vaccine research and development, and mass vaccination have all helped to strengthen people's confidence in the government. Not only that, but China is also actively helping the rest of the world, and nearly half of the world's 7 billion COVID-19 vaccines are Chinese, which also strengthens people's confidence in their own governments.
Richard Edelman, president of Edelman, believes that the increase in public trust in China is not only related to the economy, but also that the Chinese government's policies will not change overnight, especially in terms of the epidemic.
In his words, "I think they do what they say ... For example, their COVID-19 prevention and control situation is better than that of the United States. ”
Therefore, this sense of trust is simply reflected in the investigation report.
In addition to the level of trust in the government, there are several other dimensions:
For enterprises, China's trust is 84%, the world's first;
For the media, China's trust is 80%, the world's first;
For medical institutions, China's trust is 93%, ranking first in the world;
For the central bank, China's trust is 91%, the world's first;
For NGOs, China has 77% trust, ranking second after India.
Interestingly, the report also deliberately made a comparison of trust between China and the United States.
One of the biggest findings, the difference in the trust of China and the United States in the country reached 40 percentage points, the highest value since the report was founded.
In particular, the trust in the government, 91% in China and 39% in the United States, the score difference is 52 percentage points.
What's the biggest reason for this?
An article by Reuters analyzed that the United States now has the world's first number of new deaths per day, while China benefits from strict implementation of "dynamic clearance", often for several months there will be no new deaths.
The reality is so cruel, the people's hearts are actually bright, and Reuters is also in the eyes.
Of course, the report has many dimensions, as well as some interesting findings, especially in some Western countries, such as.
1, Nearly half of respondents believe that the government and the media are the separatist forces of today.
2,46% of respondents believe that media journalists are the least trustworthy.
3, Concerns about fake news being used as a weapon reached an unprecedented 76%.
4, the highest degree of trust among scientists, reaching 75%;
5, second only to scientists, the most trusted is colleagues, reaching 74%.
6,85% of people are most worried about unemployment.
7, More than half believe that current capitalism does more harm than good.
8, the Japanese are the most pessimistic, only 15% believe that the economic situation will be better after 5 years.
9, in China, nearly two-thirds of people are optimistic about their prospects.
10, the most optimistic are Kenyans, 91% of whom believe the economy will get better.
Finally, what do you think?
Or three o'clock.
First, it is rare that this report shows a relatively real China.
According to a Western report, China frequently ranks first in the world, which is very rare in the current atmosphere of world public opinion.
But it also at least shows that even in the West, people see that China's progress cannot be ignored.
Of course, for Chinese, it may be even more emotional.
I think the results of the fight against the epidemic have played a very important role in this global survey. Who really cares about the safety of the people? Who is more able to develop the economy? People in all countries have a scale in their hearts.
At the crucial moment, the thunderbolt means, it is really the heart of a bodhisattva.
This report, from one side, also shows a China with unity and invincibility from top to bottom.
Second, it does expose a lot of problems.
For example, distrust of capitalism, disillusionment with the economic outlook, especially during the pandemic, in Edelman's own words: "Our trust in 'democracy' is really collapsing." ”
Also, distrust of the media. This is, of course, mainly in Western countries, where social media is full of fake news, and even leaders make it up themselves, so it is no wonder that the public is suspicious.
Overall, it's a world of mistrust.
Without trust, it means crisis.
Third, China must be both confident and self-vigilant.
The late Israeli President Peres once said to me: Polls are like perfume, you can smell it, but don't really drink it.
After all, this is a Western investigation, we just listen to it, or we still have to have determination. Scolding us, we don't have to jump at the first scolding; praise us, we can't be complacent.
In this world, the most feared thing is not to kill with sticks, but to kill. We still have to recognize the deficiencies, change them if there are, and encourage them if they don't. I always feel that this is the true self-confidence of a big country.
As for the contrast between China and the United States, Hua Chunying's sentence is well said: China's goal has never been to surpass the United States, but to constantly surpass itself and become a better China.
