Visualizing China's Rise.
These series of articles feature multiple data visualizations that unpack the complexity of China's growing power across multiple categories. This project was shortlisted for the 2019 Information is Beautiful Awards and developed for the CSIS ChinaPower Project.
China's emergence as a global power is likely to be the most consequential factor in twenty-first-century international politics. Yet the nature of Chinese power is poorly understood. Its capabilities remain uneven, which can lead to misrepresentations of China’s strengths and weaknesses. Through data visualization and written analysis, ChinaPower unpacks the complexity of China's rise. These features from the last year examines five interrelated categories of Chinese power: military, economics, technology, social, and international image.
