BEIJING - Chinese state media released videos of foreign citizens praising the country on the eve of celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic, as new research showed declining perceptions of China in many western countries.

"I love you China... I love your homegrown sugar cane, that quenches my heart like milk," sang a chorus of singers including Canadians, Germans and Americans in a video filmed in the eastern city of Nanjing. Another video showed Thai citizens praising Chinese movies, bridge engineering and traditional food with hashtags linking to the country's 70th anniversary celebrations.

A new report released on Monday by the US-based Pew Research Centre showed that perceptions of China have declined in the past year in countries including the United States, which is locked in a bitter trade war with Beijing.
