More Americans regard Japan as the United States' most important partner in Asia, a survey by the Foreign Ministry showed on Tuesday.
About 50 percent of Americans consider Japan most important, up 19 percentage points from the previous year, followed by China, which was unchanged at 39 percent, the ministry said.
Japan retook the top slot after being overtaken by China in last year's survey.
Among a group of influential people questioned in the poll, China ranked top at 54 percent, up eight points, while Japan came second at 40 percent, up 12 points. China remained top for the third straight year.
In a question about the most important partner, respondents were asked to choose from three countries--Japan, China and Russia. Last year, Australia, South Korea and India were added to the list.
Commissioned by the ministry, the U.S. polling service Gallup Inc. conducted the survey in February and March on 1,200 members of the general public and 200 people in leading positions in the government, business, academia and other areas in the United States.
