Canada, once a hot travel destination among Chinese people, has become China’s least favorite country, according to a recent survey from state-run Global Times. The poll, conducted by the Global Times Research Center with market survey firm DATA100, gathered 2,148 responses across 16 Chinese cities from Dec. 10-15, 2021. The survey showed Canada at the bottom of the ranking, with only 0.4% of respondents saying they like the North American country.
No idea why any Chinese person would say Japan is their favourite country. But then again I don’t know how many Indian people love the UK.
Yeah the survey did seem kind of weird to me. The US ranking so high is also interesting. But I don’t doubt its validity, and personal opinions of the general public, which this was asking, are often not linear with politics or current events.
