This paper focuses on the image of China in the eyes of the American public during the two years from 2016 to 2017.It was found that there was a certain recovery in the goodwill of the American public in China from 2016 to 2017，but there were still more Americans who had a bad feeling toward China than the American public who had a favorable impression of China.Democrats in the United States and young people in the United States have a greater proportion of goodwill towards China.Nearly half of U.S.respondents believe that China has the strongest influence.Most of the American public's minds are China's image of a military power，an economic development country，and a country with many problems（such as corruption，wealth gaps，and ethical conflicts）.For the American public，environmental pollution is a serious problem that China is currently facing.Most American public thinks that China and the United States are in a relationship of competition and cooperation.In the future，the United States and China will become more and more close in terms of economic and cultural exchanges，but the military friction will also increase.In addition，the American public's understanding of Sino-US relations is less than that of the United States and other countries and regions，and the US public's perception of the importance of Sino-U.S.relations is relatively backward，only higher than that of the United States and Africa.
