The survey asked foreign respondents for their views on several key concepts from Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, with ideas such as "building a community with a shared future for humanity" and "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" receiving approval from nearly 80 percent of participants.

Nearly 70 percent of foreign respondents expressed a positive view of the Communist Party of China's steadfast implementation of the central Party leadership's eight-point decision on improving conduct and other concepts and practices related to full and rigorous Party self-governance, the survey showed.

More than three-fourths of foreign respondents hold an objective and positive view of China's experience in formulating and implementing five-year plans.

In the overall international public opinion, more than 70 percent express the hope that future China-U.S. relations will "tend to be eased" or "maintain status quo."
