Only 6% believe U.S. will continue to dominate the world: survey

Around 6 percent of people around the globe believe the world would be unipolar in the future – dominated either by the U.S. or China – while 34 percent, the largest group, think a multipolar world is the most likely prospect, according to a recent poll.

The global study was conducted by CGTN Think Tank and the Chinese Institute of Public Opinion at Renmin University of China and surveyed people from 22 countries including the United States, New Zealand, Japan, India, Egypt and Nigeria.

A majority approved of China's approach to human rights even as Western nations blast the country's record, according to the survey.

Some 57 percent of the people surveyed agreed with the statement "China always treats human rights realistically and practically. Human rights should not be separated from the realities and developmental stages of any country. The rights to subsistence and development are the most basic," and 26 percent totally agreed.
