Young Americans break sharply from older Americans on China threat, new poll finds

Young Americans are significantly less likely than older generations to view China as a major threat, according to the Ronald Reagan Institute Summer Survey. The poll found sharp generational divides on issues like China's spying, military actions, and fentanyl trade, with younger Americans showing lower concern. Despite this, over 80% of Americans remain worried about China's role in fentanyl, spying, and land purchases, as U.S.-China relations seek stabilization after Trump's May summit with Xi Jinping.
