标 题: 国际贸易流通的三维动态图：看中国如何输出的

Here are a few things we found particularly interesting, as we scanned
through the map:
When looking at the globe as a whole, trade is concentrated into obvious
hubs. The United States, Europe, and China/Japan are the most evident ones,
and they are all lit up with color.
There are also obvious have-nots. Take a look at most of the countries in
Africa, or click on an individual country like North Korea to see a lack of
international trade.
In fact, North Korea is completely vacuous, except for one lonely dot
floating to China every so often. After taking a quick look at the data, it
seems China takes in over 60% of North Korea’s exports, which are mostly
raw materials such as coal, iron ore, or pig iron.
Now click on South Korea, and the situation is completely different. By the
way, South Korea exports $583 billion of goods per year, while the hermit
nation does just $3.1 billion per year.
This map also shows how dependent some countries are on others for trade.
Look at Canada, a country that sends close to 75% of its exports to the
United States. Mexico has a similar situation, where it does most of its
business with the U.S. as well.
This is a stark contrast to Cuba, which doesn’t trade enough with any one
partner to have it visualized on this scale at all. Cuba has exports of only
$1.7 billion, and its largest trading partner is China, which only takes in
$311 million of goods per year. |
