I always loved maps like this in Geography lessons a l'ecole. Personally, being Chinese Diasporic, I'm really looking forward to the continued rise and rise of the Chinese Nation. It presents a wonderful opportunity and dialectic between the 1st world and the Red Dragon. It will 'create' new and interesting models and processes which are completely 'out of the box'. Opportunities abound for anyone courageous enough to grasp the nettle and lead that bull by it's horns. The IMF team advising China since the 90s has done a decent job overall in helping manage the transition to 'one country, two systems' (contrasts with the short-sharp shock' therapy applied to east/centr. europe. Anyhow... interesting if albeit treacherous times ahead. What was is Nostradamus said about China... sthg like the hugest was in human history predicted. huh, maybe N.Korea/china/usa and it's allies in Nato will clash violently and Russia will vent all it's pent up frustration over NATO encroachment/broken promises into the mix. Won't that be jolly. thanks for this great visualization. I always loved maps like this in Geography lessons a l’ecole.

It's so easy to get jaded, but there's absolutely still some fantastic material online, and I feel your place is definitely one of the few!

I remember interviewing the Malaysian Ambassador to CZ once and he had some very interesting viewpoints on Israel's policies (and this from a moderate Islamic state).... ref: Review of Gilligan’s ‘Islamic Republic’ C4 documentary about the IFE (and other seminal work being done on 'different forms' of islam - moderate thought versus Islamist thought.... 3 keystone concepts/battlegrounds... Sharia: the path; Umn: Community; Taquweed: the ability of the Moslem believer 'under the law' to lie - if ends justify the means..... Is Israel completely not at fault here.
