Now and then some amazing survey results surface. A Dutch Psychological Market Research Company needed some attention and researched how Dutch people view China. Pretty smart. Mentioning “China” in your press release these days gets you a lot of attention. Combined with the Dutch, sometimes called the Chinese of the West, gets you a winner. Some conclusions of the survey that is supposed to be representative. 443 Dutch participated and the biggest news is.
“Nederlanders denken positiever over China dan over eigen land. Bij Nederland zijn de helft (46%) van de gedachten negatief, bij China een derde (35%) van de gedachten.” (source: in Dutch : Mindworld)
What, well Dutch people are more positive about China than about Holland. 46 % thinks negative about Holland and only 33% thinks negative about China. Don’t be surprised if there will be some more migration from that small country to China in the future.
