That doesn't invalidate their surprise on the matter. There is a logical reasoning behind it.

    It's not logical, though, it actually reveals an illogical bias. Local disputes over fishing and territory simply aren't as big a threat to the world as the warmongering empire that killed a million Filipinos and is currently plunging the world into an energy crisis.

    Propoganda and recency bias are stronger than you believe.

    That's not what the survey shows. The survey shows that, actually, propaganda and recency bias aren't enough. People can access news from around the world these days and they remember their nation's history. If anything, my beliefs are vindicated.

    Perhaps it's that American idiocy is further reaching these days.

    Though you miss the point that someone can logically assume that recent events would play more into people's minds than the study shows.
