Kosovo is among the countries most aligned with the United States, alongside Israel, Poland, Albania, and the Philippines, reflecting strong public support for the U.S. compared to China.

However, according to a Gallup report, China has overtaken the United States in global approval ratings for leadership in 2025, with 36% approval compared to 31% for the U.S. This shift is mainly linked to a decline in the U.S. image, which has dropped significantly in 44 countries, including traditional allies such as Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Italy, while China has seen an increase in 23 countries, KosovaPress reports.

At the country level, Kosovo ranks first globally in support for U.S. policies with +64 points and simultaneously shows the strongest opposition to China at -68 points. Following Kosovo in support for the U.S. are Israel (+57), Poland (+47), Albania (+40), and the Philippines (+36), while a similar pattern appears in the disapproval of China’s policies.

On the other hand, countries with the highest approval of China include Russia, Pakistan, Tunisia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, which also show high disapproval of the United States.

The findings indicate a trend toward a more multipolar world, where countries are increasingly less strongly aligned with a single global power.
