The survey also found that international public opinion expressed significant concerns about the US role in the international arena.
The survey results show: "The vast majority of respondents believe that the United States does not consider the interests of other countries when making foreign policy decisions. Many believe that the United States is doing less than before to help solve major global challenges."
Meanwhile, according to Pew, China's role in the international arena has increased over the past 10 years./.
