About 69% said they had some understanding of AIDS, and 2% said they had never heard of the disease, it quoted the survey as saying. Differences in understanding of AIDS were especially marked along educational lines, with educated people more likely to read newspapers that were the main source of AIDS information in China, it said.

About one-third of respondents said they thought AIDS was a major problem in China, according to the survey. At the end of October 1996 China reported 5157 cases of people infected with HIV and 133 patients with advanced AIDS. Officials said the actual number of those infected could be as high as 100,000. The population of China is about 1.2 billion
