Majority of ASEAN people favor China over U.S., survey finds

According to the State of Southeast Asia 2024 survey, compiled by the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, 50.5% of respondents opted for China and 49.5% preferred the U.S. if ASEAN had to pick sides -- the first time Beijing edged past Washington since the annual survey started asking the question in 2020. Last year's survey showed 38.9% preferred China and 61.1% chose the U.S.

Other findings of the survey include that 59.5% of the respondents see China as the most influential economic power in Southeast Asia, far ahead of the U.S. at 14.3%. Meanwhile, 43.9% said China is the most influential political power in the region, versus America's 25.8%.

Philippines and Vietnam are being a bit cringe, but all others look good

I watched about half of it before I got bored. There were 1-2 good ones, but it was mainly basic soundbites that can get replayed on Fox News to attack Democrats.

Stuff like "What would you say to Biden right now?", "Are the sanctions undermining America's geopolitical power?", "Is there a risk of nuclear war if American troops enter Ukraine?", etc
