What should we call Xiden? Most in China Call Their Nation A Democracy, Most in U.S. Say America Isn't May 30, 2022 at 7:06 AM EDT newsweek.com By Tom O'Connor Senior Writer, Foreign Policy & Deputy Editor, National Security and Foreign Policy The overwhelming majority of people living in China say they are living in a democracy. Most people in the United States say they do not. These findings are part of a new study published by the Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation and Germany-based Latana data tracking firm. Part of the latest installment of the annual Democracy Perception Index published Monday, the study explores public opinions of democracy among 52,785 respondents across 53 nations and territories, including China and the U.S., surveyed between March 30 and May 10 of this year. When asked whether they believe their country is democratic, those in China topped the list, with some 83% saying the communist-led People's Republic was a democracy. A resounding 91% said that democracy is important to them. But in the U.S., which touts itself as a global beacon of democracy, only 49% of those asked said their country was a democracy. And just over three-quarters of respondents, 76%, said democracy was important.
