Making Sense Of The World, One Map At A Time
The map above was created by the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign and highlights the huge risk to the British economy if it votes to leave the EU.
At risk are EU signed free trade deals with 60+ countries (covering an area far larger than the British Empire). If the UK were to leave, it would have to start from square one and renegotiate new free trade deals with each and every one.
Who imports the most from whom? The map above shows the flag of the country that is the largest source of imports for each other country. For example, the United States imports more good from China than any other.
China is also the biggest source of imports from countries as diverse as Russia, Australia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Madagascar, Sudan and North & South Korea among others.
Amiantedeluxe used statistics from The Observatory of Economic Complexity, statistiques-mondiales.com and Wikipedia to make the map.
So what country does China import the most from?
