The United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and the Perth USAsia Centre launched a landmark report on public attitudes towards America, China and other major regional actors in the Asia-Pacific.

The report, the first of its kind in collaboration with regional partner institutions, features a number of provocative revelations about public opinion on trade, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the US-China relationship, the likelihood of conflict in the region and how Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea view their neighbours.
