Young Americans break sharply from older Americans on China threat, new poll finds
A new poll has found that young Americans are far less likely than older generations to see China as a major threat to the United States. The poll revealed a sharp generational divide in U.S. foreign policy, with 62% of adults ages 18 to 29 expressing concern about Chinese espionage compared to 93% of those 65 and older. The findings suggest that younger Americans view China through a different lens than older generations, raising questions about how public attitudes could evolve as younger voters make up a larger share of the electorate.
