A recent poll has revealed a significant generational divide in how Americans view China as a threat to the United States. The Ronald Reagan Institute Summer Survey found that 93% of Americans aged 65 and older are concerned about China’s ability to spy on the US, compared to just 62% of those aged 18 to 29.

Younger Americans are also less likely to express concern about China’s potential use of force against Taiwan, technology theft, purchases of US land, and China’s role in the flow of fentanyl into the US. Despite this divide, concern about China remains high nationally, with over 80% of Americans expressing concern about China’s role in the flow of fentanyl and its purchases of US land.
The survey’s findings come as Washington and Beijing attempt to stabilize their relationship after years of escalating economic and military tensions. The poll also found broad shifts by party on what America’s role in the world should look like, with Republicans more likely to say the US should take a leading role internationally.
