Think of
His resignation will affect what the world leaders think of our country.
His resignation will affect the ways the world leaders think of our country.
Are my senteces correct and do they mean similar?
If so, If I replaced of by about then the meaning changes, right? Because think about means to imagine, right?
Thanks

Liveinjapan His resignation will affect what the world leaders think of our country. His resignation will affect the ways the world leaders think of our country. Many people would use "way" in the singular, although "ways" is the correct form - unless you wish to imply that all leaders would think in the same way.

Hi Avangi, I think the sentence "His resignation will affect what the world leaders think of our country" is incorrect and we should replace "what" with "how". What do you think?

what the world leaders think
how the world leaders look at/see/view/feel about

Phillip's comment is right on the mark.
How we think would normally be used to describe the process of thinking, not the content.
People sometimes say things like, "I don't care how you think of me," which in my opinion actually describes the process: You may think of me as a fool; you may think of me as reckless. It's sort of a grey area.
