Media review: 55% of Chinese respondents say US irresponsible in handling of Palestinian-Israeli conflict

A recently published survey conducted by the Global Times Institute at the end of 2023 showed that about 55 percent of Chinese respondents believed the US was being "irresponsible" in handling the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict in Gaza, which has already killed about 30,000 people. About 42 percent of global respondents said the US is unable to properly handle the Gaza and Ukraine crises at the same time. 

According to the global survey, in the majority of Western countries, including Australia, US, UK, France, Germany, and in three African countries, at least 30 percent of the respondents believe the conflict will expand into a larger Middle East war, with Indonesia registering the highest number of responses in the affirmative at 44 percent, and Turkey, Kenya, and South Africa following close behind at 40 percent.
