Poll: 57% of Americans Favor Cooperation With China as "Chinamaxxing" Trends on TikTok
A July poll of 2,156 U.S. adults by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs found 57% support "friendly cooperation and engagement" with China, up sharply from 40% in 2024. A September Pew survey found favorability toward China rose from 11% in 2021 to 19%.
The New York Times notes the shift is strongest among young Americans. On TikTok, U.S. users are driving a "Chinamaxxing" trend — embracing Chinese habits like drinking hot water, practicing tai chi and eating hot pot — as a window into China.
