Overview

Empirical analysis reveals that increased Chinese exports lead to more positive attitudes in recipient countries, suggesting broader implications for trade relations.

Key Points

This study aims to analyze how Chinese exports influence attitudes towards China in various countries using an attitude index derived from the GDELT database.
Constructed an index of attitudes towards China using GDELT data from 1985 to 2020.
Investigated the correlation between Chinese exports and attitudes in destination countries.
Examined heterogeneous effects based on income levels, trade stability, and participation in trade initiatives.
Countries receiving more exports from China show increasingly positive attitudes towards China, indicating an effect size associated with exports.
The positive effect is especially strong in countries with unstable trade environments or those not part of the World Trade Organization.
Particular benefits are noted in middle- and low-income, high-risk, or less corrupt countries, with varying attitudes between official and non-official actors.
