America’s image is mostly positive among the Asian nations polled. Particularly large majorities see the U.S. favorably in the Philippines (92%), South Korea (84%) and Vietnam (77%).
It’s from 2015 but more recent polls have found similar data IIRC
79% of people polled in Vietnam chose the US in the “Preferred alignment choice in U.S.-China rivalry” which is a different metric obviously but still points towards the same idea
Edit: According to Luna Oi, Pew Research Center is a neoliberal think tank that cannot be trusted on anything about Vietnam
Except it was already written down and lived for hundreds of years by the indigenous people of Turtle Island which the “USA” was “inspired by” when creating their own slave trader nation’s constitution.
