Just 7% of respondents said the Communist-run country was a U.S. ally, while 27% perceived China as an enemy. A majority of respondents – 54% – perceived the country as "in between" the two designations. 

China's Communist government has been the subject of heightened criticism and scrutiny over the past year following allegations that it significantly mishandled the COVID-19 outbreak that began in that country and allowed the virus to spread worldwide.
