Canada

I didn't properly articulate this in my own comment, so thank you. Yes, the survey was done by an external source (again, I do personally agree with it's findings), I was just highlighting the source of the article commenting on it.

Different eyes looking at the same survey will see different things, and a journalist will highlight different things depending on a target audience. Given the Chinese domain (.cn) and English language, I personally assumed that it was focusing on highlighting improvements in Canadian general opinion towards Chinese trade and might downplay more neutral view points not to suppress them but because they're not necessarily relevant to the point of the article.

I view the article through the same lense I would view an American article or a German article on the same survey; as a third party commenting on a Canadian survey to bolster their own point. The important part is actually looking at the results of that Leger study (as you pointed out).
