Chinese pop culture is not well liked in much of either Africa or Latin
America, in part because significant portions in seven of the 13 nations
surveyed have no opinion. Of those who have a view, Chinese music, movies
and television is disliked by majorities in six countries, including in
Brazil (75%), Argentina (68%), El Salvador (61%) and South Africa (60%).
Only in Nigeria (54%) do most people have an affinity for such Chinese
exports.

In only three of the 13 countries surveyed in Africa and Latin America –
in Senegal (62%), Nigeria (58%) and Kenya (54%) – do more than half think
it is good that Chinese ideas and customs are spreading in their country.
Half or more of those surveyed in eight nations – all countries surveyed
in Latin America and one African country – think such Chinese influence is
a bad thing, including in Ghana (60%), Brazil (58%) and Chile (57%).
