Trump's 'Maga' Campaign Inadvertently Boosting China's Global Influence?

• A survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations suggests Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) campaign has inadvertently strengthened China's global standing.
• The survey, involving 26,000 participants across 21 countries, indicates a widespread belief that China's global influence will increase significantly in the next decade.
• The report highlights that a year after Trump's return, many perceive China as on the verge of becoming more powerful globally.
• The think tank notes that under Trump, the US is seen as less intimidating by adversaries, and its alliances, especially with Europe, have weakened.
• Russians reportedly view the European Union as a greater threat than the US, while Ukrainians are increasingly seeking support from Brussels over Washington.

Why It Matters: Trump's 'MAGA' strategy is seen by many as unintentionally empowering China and weakening US global alliances.
