Global attitudes toward china: trend and correlates

Question

The article is about china as an economic power. So how the authors tested this power with hypothesis? What are the hypothesis they focus on?

Answer 1

This is a very broad scope and so I recommend beginning by narrowing that down, by either focusing on a specific part of the world or separating by region (such as the west indicative of Europe and the Americas, the Middle East, etc). One place to start would be social media platforms and filtering for hashtags relating to China and it's economic presence overseas. From there you would need to filter further for opinion driven posts. Another strategy would be to look at news outlets and op-ed articles from the regions noted on China's economic presence. A cursory review of this type will support the development of an informed thesis, which is likely to be a complex one due to the scope of the prompt.
