Foreign Media: According to the latest Gallup poll, China's global support rate median reached 36% in 2025, surpassing the U.S.'s 31% for the first time.
The U.S. support rate declined by 8 percentage points compared to 2024, while China's rose by 4 percentage points; dissatisfaction with U.S. leadership hit a historical high of 48%, and net approval dropped to a record low of -15.
This shift is primarily driven by a sharp decline in U.S. support rates, with drops exceeding 10 percentage points in 44 allied countries—especially within NATO nations.
Nations or regions most supportive of China: Russia, Pakistan, Tunisia, Singapore, Hong Kong; nations most supportive of the U.S.: Kosovo, Israel, Poland, Albania, Philippines.
Germany maintains a 48% approval rating, ranking as the world’s most popular country for nine consecutive years. The world is moving toward a multipolar order, where traditional allies are no longer clearly aligning sides.
