How to interpret: Each point represents a country, stacked vertically within 0.05-width buckets along the US-China axis.
Position shows voting alignment on a US (-1) to China (+1) scale based on weighted correlation of UN votes.
Colors gradient from dark blue (US-aligned) through gray (neutral) to dark red (China-aligned).
The solid white line shows the GDP-weighted mean (toggle between current 2026 GDP or historic GDP by year), while the dashed white line shows the unweighted mean (each country equal).
Hover over points for country details. Use the slider or play button to see how alignments shift over time.

Track how countries and global means have shifted on the US-China axis over time. Compare GDP-weighted means using current 2026 GDP (solid white) vs actual historic GDP (solid gold) alongside the unweighted mean (dashed white).
