This data was released in the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2014\/06\/26\/section-6-foreign-affairs-terrorism-and-privacy\/\">Pew Research Center\u2019s political typology study<\/a> on June 26.<!--more--><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public support for a strong economic relationship with China has bounced back to where it was three years ago, after declining in 2012.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two years ago, the balance of opinion was the opposite. Nearly half (49%) of Americans in 2012 said it was more important to get tougher with China, while fewer (42%) viewed a stronger relationship as more important.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend can be seen across most groups; support for stronger economic ties has grown, but there continues to be substantial age and partisan differences in priorities for the U.S.-China economic relationship.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-261146\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/07\/FT_young-china-views.png\" alt=\"FT_young-china-views\" width=\"313\" height=\"443\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fully 72% of those under 30 prioritize stronger U.S. economic ties with China compared with just 23% who say it is more important to get tough with China. Older age groups are more evenly divided in views of priorities for U.S.-China economic relations.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans, especially conservative Republicans, remain more likely than independents or Democrats to favor a tougher approach to China on economic issues. A majority of conservative Republicans (57%) favor getting tougher with China. That compares with 46% of moderate and liberal Republicans, and smaller percentages of independents (39%) and Democrats (36%).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About half of
