"By measuring how closely each country's voting record correlates with those of the US or China, researchers have been able to map how the geopolitical centre of gravity is further away from Washington and closer to Beijing than at any other point this century."
"The total number of countries strongly aligned with the US has crashed under Trump, in contrast to China, which has maintained its allies."
Focaldata analysis reveals a significant geopolitical realignment through UN voting patterns between 2024 and 2025. By measuring voting record correlations with the US and China, researchers mapped how countries are shifting their alignment. The data shows the geopolitical center of gravity has moved further from Washington and closer to Beijing than any other point this century. The number of countries strongly aligned with the US has declined substantially under the Trump administration, while China has maintained its allied support. This shift indicates reduced enthusiasm among nations for the current US administration's global approach.
