一 |     ▲ 26일 오전 10시 발표된 태풍 '사우델' 통보문 [기상청 캡쳐]제18호 태풍 '사우델'의 간접 영향으로 제주 해상에 강한 바람과 높은 파도가 일면서 해경이 연안 안전관리를 강화하고 나섰다.제주지방기상청은 26일 오전 11시를 기해 제주도 남쪽 바깥 먼바다에 내려진 풍랑주의보를 풍랑경보로 격상하고 제주도 동부·남부·서부 앞바다에는 풍랑주의보를 발효했다. 제주도 남쪽 안쪽 먼바다에도 풍랑주의보가 발효 중이다.기상청은 제주도 남쪽 먼바다에 강풍과 함께 2∼4ｍ, 최대 5ｍ 이상의 매우 높은 물결이 일 것으로 예보했다. 제주도 앞바다도 점차 바람이 강해지면서 물결이 1.5∼3.5ｍ까지 높아질 전망이다.태풍의 영향으로 당분간 제주 해안에는 강한 너울이 유입될 것으로 예상된다. 높은 물결이 백사장으로 강하게 밀려오거나 갯바위와 방파제를 넘는 곳도 있을 것으로 기상청은 내다봤다.이에 따라 제주해양경찰서와 서귀포해양경찰서는 이날부터 연안 안전사고 위험예보제 '주의보' 단계를 발령했다.연안 안전사고 위험예보제는 기상악화나 자연재난 등으로 사고 발생 우려가 있는 연안해역의 위험성을 사전에 알리는 제도로 '관심', '주의보', '경보' 단계로 운영된다.해경은 갯바위와 방파제, 해안가 등 사고 위험지역을 중심으로 순찰을 강화하고 낚시객과 관광객 등을 대상으로 안전수칙 준수와 위험지역 출입 자제를 당부할 예정이다.해경 관계자는 "갯바위와 방파제 등 위험지역에서는 각별한 주의가 필요하다"며 "위험예보제 발령 기간 연안 활동객들은 기상정보를 수시로 확인하고 위험지역 출입을 자제하는 등 안전수칙을 지켜달라"고 말했다.한편 태풍 사우델은 이날 오전 9시 기준 중심기압 960hPa, 최대풍속 초속 39ｍ의 강도 3 태풍으로 일본 오키나와 북북서쪽 150㎞ 부근 해상에서 시속 20㎞ 속도로 서진하고 있다.사우델은 계속 서쪽으로 이동해 오는 28일쯤 중국에 상륙할 것으로 예상되며, 이후 72시간 이내에 열대저압부로 약화할 전망이다. 。

A US public opinion survey indicated that most younger Americans don't see China as a critical threat to the US and favor a policy of friendly cooperation and engagement. A Chinese expert said that public sentiment demonstrates that narratives long constructed by certain US politicians to contain China's development have lost traction among young Americans, adding that, aided by social media, they are better able to form independent judgments about the reality of China's development.
Reflecting these generational shifts, data from a joint Chicago Council-NPR-Ipsos survey, conducted in the US from March 13 to 15, 2026, and the 2025 Chicago Council Survey showed that attitudes toward China are becoming increasingly differentiated across age groups, according to a report by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Wednesday. 
This research covers four generational cohorts following standard cohort definitions. These include Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1964, Gen X born between 1965 and 1980, Millennials born between 1981 and 1996, and Gen Z born between 1997 and 2013.
The report said younger generations consistently expressed less antagonistic and more flexible views on China's role in the world, as well as greater skepticism toward restrictive economic and social policies.
The survey showed that over the past two decades, younger Americans have consistently expressed "less concern about China's rise than older generations." Minorities of Millennials, at 43 percent, and Generation Zers, at 34 percent, view the development of China as a world power as a critical threat to the US, compared with majorities of Baby Boomers, at 62 percent, and Generation Xers at 56 percent.
China's sustained growth has injected positive impetus into global development, enabling the international community to more clearly recognize China's role as a contributor, Shen Yi, director of the International Research Institute of Global Cyberspace Governance at Fudan University, told the Global Times on Thursday.
Regarding views on China's global ambitions, the report said younger cohorts are "more open to the possibility that China's desired global role might be more collaborative."
Young Americans' attitudes toward China also signal that the full set of narratives long crafted by certain US politicians to contain China's development has lost traction among younger generations in the US, Shen said.
The report also noted that support for a US policy of cooperation and engagement with China has rebounded sharply from the lows of 2024.
Majorities of Generation Z, at 59 percent, and Millennials at 58 percent favor a policy of friendly cooperation and engagement with China, nearly 10 percentage points above the shares of Baby Boomers and Generation X who hold the same view.
"Younger Americans have come of age in a more interconnected world shaped by digital exchange and cross-border education, where social media trends have made engagement with Chinese culture increasingly ordinary," reads the report.
In January this year, creator @sherryxiiruii listed a series of distinct Chinese lifestyle habits in a viral TikTok video, and the playful "prophecy" sparked a global craze, gaining nearly 750,000 likes and sparked a top-trending hashtag #BecomingChinese, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Shen said that by bypassing screening and filtering by traditional US media, social media platforms provide ordinary Americans, particularly young people, direct access to the everyday lives of Chinese citizens and the realities of Chinese society, adding that this empowers them to "break free from an information landscape dominated by one-sided, skewed messaging."
Additionally, the report said Millennials and Gen Zers show strong opposition to restrictive policies targeting Chinese students, higher tariffs, and reduced trade overall. For example, 65 percent of Millennials and 64 percent of Gen Zers oppose limiting the number of Chinese students studying in the US.
Yet the policy direction of the US administration stands in stark contrast to the prevailing views. For example, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) in July announced its forthcoming policy prohibiting NSF funds from being spent on collaboration with entities on US restricted parties lists, which could effectively bar collaborations between NSF-funded US scientists and nearly all Chinese research institutions and their employees, US media reported.
Such a contrast also lays bare a notable disconnect between US policymaking and the genuine sentiments of ordinary Americans, as authorities seldom take public aspirations into account when rolling out relevant initiatives, Shen said.
In the short term, perceptions among younger generations cannot reverse Washington's existing restrictive policies toward China. From a long-term perspective, however, the more objective and amicable views of China held by today's youth carry irreplaceable positive value, the expert said.
