Nearly 90% of respondents of a survey by the Pew Center think China's economy is either "very good" or "somewhat good"
At a time of Brexit and talk of a wall between the United States and Mexico, it seems the Chinese are embracing international engagement.
They think their country's power is rising, that their living standards will keep improving, that corruption is being cleaned up and that air pollution should be fixed even if it means slowing down economic growth.
These are the views which have emerged from a broad survey from Washington-based the Pew Research Center.
Elsewhere there is fear and uncertainty. Here optimism trumps all.
When asked about economic globalisation, 60% of people said it is a good thing and only 23% think it is bad for China.
While some China watchers are warning that this country's mounting local government debt could mean that a hard landing is on the way, Chinese people don't appear to share this pessimism.
Nearly 90% of respondents amongst this group of 3,154, interviewed face-to-face in China earlier this year, think that the state of their country's economy is either "very good" or "somewhat good".

Chinese people seem to remain optimistic
Looking into the future things will apparently get even better: 76% of people think the economy will improve over the next 12 months, 70% said their personal financial situation will improve and eight out of 10 people believe that their children will have a better standard of living than they do.
