Amid major conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, which country do Brits think is the biggest threat to global peace?
To find out, we visualized data from a YouGov UK survey conducted in April 2024 with a sample size of 5,248 adults.
Data and Key Takeaways
The data featured in this infographic is also listed in the table below.
Country | % of respondents |
🇨🇳 China | 11 |
🇷🇺 Russia | 47 |
🇺🇸 U.S. | 7 |
🇮🇷 Iran | 10 |
🇰🇵 North Korea | 3 |
🇮🇱 Israel | 7 |
❓ Don't know | 15 |
From these results, we can see that almost half of Brits believe Russia is the biggest threat to world peace. This is of course, due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, along with a variety of historical reasons.
When asked about which side was winning the conflict, a majority (44%) of Brits believed neither side had an advantage. 26% believed Russia had the advantage, while only 6% said the same for Ukraine.
The country with the second-highest share of responses is China, at 11%. This could be due to the looming threat of China’s potential invasion of Taiwan by 2030.
According to other YouGov surveys, 60% of Brits believe China is a rival or enemy of the UK, while only 12% believe the country is an ally or friend.
