What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

China surpassed the United States in global approval ratings in 2025, with a median of 36% approving of China’s leadership, compared with 31% for the U.S. China’s five-percentage-point advantage over the U.S. is the widest Gallup has recorded in China’s favor in nearly 20 years.

China’s move ahead of the U.S. more broadly reflects a decline in U.S. ratings rather than an increase in China’s ratings. Approval of China’s leadership increased by double digits over the past year in 23 countries (versus 44 showing a similar decrease for the U.S.). However, many of China’s increases occurred in countries where U.S. approval fell.

If such surveys have a meaning at all, it basically says that the U.S. is more and more becoming like China: a dictatorship.

But it makes a good geadline for OP's propanda.

Oh, and btw,

Germany — which has ranked as the most positively viewed major power for nine consecutive years in Gallup’s trend, spanning the chancellorships of Merkel, Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz — receives the highest approval in 2025, at 48%.

48% for Germany? What has it done to deserve that?
