Southeast Asia would choose the U.S. over China if forced to pick sides - survey

CNBC reports that according to an annual survey by Singaporean think tank ISEAS Yusof-Ishak Institute, Southeast Asia’s support for the U.S. appeared to increase after Joe Biden won the presidential election.

The State of Southeast Asia survey found that 61.5% of respondents favor aligning with the U.S. over China if the region was forced to pick sides. That’s an increase from 53.6% who chose the U.S. over China in the same survey a year ago.

Responses to the latest survey were gathered from Nov. 18 last year to Jan. 10 this year — after Biden was projected to defeat Donald Trump in the election, but before he was inaugurated as president.

The survey involved more than 1,000 respondents from all 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN. 

Comparing country-level data, a majority of respondents from seven Southeast Asian nations chose the U.S. over China in the latest survey. 

Around 76.3% of respondents picked China as the most influential economic power, while 49.1% chose China as the most influential political and strategic power.
