China Kindness Survey
I came across a kindness survey in China with very familiar results according to my own experiences.
86.7% of respondents say there are willing to be kind to strangers. The evidence of kindness to strangers overwhelmingly supports this expression of willingness.

We are kinder than we think, but we need to raise those expectations of kindness in ourselves to move forward with humanity.
