12 plates of data, 2006-2026

The drawable layer comes from the World Bank, IMF, UNDP, UN Comtrade, Transparency International and market redistributors. The NBS machine API returned 403 in this production environment, Customs returned 412, and the PBoC, SAFE and MOF series endpoints have not been isolated. International readings are therefore never passed off as Chinese national series, and incompatible perimeters are never spliced. Every plate is regenerated from committed CSVs.

  1. The Economy. World Bank and IMF trace slower but still positive growth; the NBS series will sit beside them when its machine channel returns. The Economy +5.0% in 2025. Every figure is read from this country's committed CSVs. Plate 01
