While avoiding the chores of moving in, I found this neat graphic in the Chosun Ilbo. The title is misleading, but the article is interesting.

I like the way some countries are swelled and others squished to represent their relative economic clout. The visual representation is really helpful to realize the differences.

This is a lot sooner than predicted previously.
There is a rosy prediction that Korea could be #6 IF they return to the old days of 6-8% annual growth, instead of the current 4%. |

in 2015 US GDP will still dwarf that of China |

I thought said map (couldn't find a bigger version...) would make it easier for Korean students to locate their beloved country, but - for some reason - they indicate Korea with the same shade of green as Taiwan and Hong Kong... |
