The Global Times Research Centre, a body affiliated with the Chinese state-run tabloid newspaper, asked 1,200 young adults in China about their attitudes towards Western countries.
The proportion of respondents who saw them as equals was six percentage points lower than it was in a similar poll conducted in 2016, while the percentage who “looked up to” the West was 30 points lower.
Steve Tsang, a political scientist and director of the China Institute at the SOAS University of London, said the shift in the balance of power between China and other countries was another reason for the change of attitude among Chinese people.

环球时报研究中心调查了1200名中国年轻人对西方国家的态度。
与2016年进行的类似调查相比,认为平等的受访者比例下降了6个百分点,而“敬佩”西方的受访者比例则下降了30个百分点。
伦敦大学亚非学院中国研究院院长、政治学家曾锐生表示,中国和其它国家之间力量平衡的转变,是中国人态度转变的另一个原因。
