Who do citizens in the two leading #AI powers trust to participate in the global governance of #artificial_intelligence? Check out my latest paper, #OpenAccess from Global Policy: https://t.co/emFMaM5dDn

Revisiting our 2021 study on Canada–U.S. trade disputes: Canadians are more likely to boycott U.S. goods when peer pressure, U.S. retaliation, and elite cues are present. Still very much in play today. Check out the paper #OpenAccess: https://t.co/mSC4INgwHO

Key finding #4: US experience (study, work, or family) is associated with more favorable assessments of the USA across nearly every dimension, but this does not come at the expense of confidence in China, suggesting a more pluralistic worldview.

Key finding #3: A broad and stable public consensus on China’s global economic ascendancy and substantial support for China's global leadership, resilient to leadership changes in the USA and fluctuations in bilateral relations. https://t.co/sNYwehTaU6

Key finding #2: Chinese public opinion toward the USA is responsive to American leadership changes and observable shifts in US policy rather than adhering to fixed ideological positions. https://t.co/sNYwehTaU6

Key finding #1: A growing segment of the Chinese public views the bilateral relationship as locked in a prolonged and predictable rivalry, one that is neither improving nor likely to worsen further. https://t.co/sNYwehTaU6

This seems to confirm our finding that users of digital and social media are less hostile toward China: legacy media may amplify threat narratives while digital platforms expose users to more everyday experiences abroad. https://t.co/VHziz6iYei

Sharing a new paper #OpenAccess published by China: An International Journal. My coauthor is a childhood friend of 30+ years since the sixth grade, now a law professor @LancasterUni. https://t.co/0M3gsTheik

In my #OpenAccess paper with Weiyi Shi and @BoliangZhu ( https://t.co/wkElABwfRz) in 2018, we documented similar biases using four list experiments. We proposed further assessment of this issue in future research, so it is good to see this new paper out.

Replications of the experiment in the United States under President Biden and United Kingdom offers external validity for our findings, which may have important implications for the future of the liberal international order. (4/)

Our results show that when the judge is Chinese, there is a strong and robust dampening of Americans’ perceptions of the ICJ’s legitimacy, with no comparable effect arising when the judge is from other countries, including Russia. (3/)

We test this argument using a survey experiment in the United States under President Trump, where we manipulate the nationality of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) judge who casts a tie-breaking vote against the United States. (2/)
