According to a Pew Research Center report released in April, Americans view China’s partnership with Russia as a serious problem for the United States, amid concerns over China’s growing superpower status and economic might. More than 60 percent of American adults believe the Russia-China relationship is a very serious problem, more people than say the same about other critical issues, including China’s involvement in American politics, its human rights policies, and tensions between China and Taiwan.
