Nearly three-quarters of all Americans think that Tibet should be an independent country, according to a new national poll.
But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday also indicates that most Americans think it is more important to maintain good relations with China than to take a stand on Tibet.
… The poll also indicates that 53 percent say it’s more important for the United States to take a strong stand on human rights in China rather than to maintain good relations with Beijing, with 44 percent saying good relations are more important.
By a 6 point margin, the survey also shows that more Americans say taking a strong stand on Taiwan by force is more important than maintaining good relations with Beijing.t
