Cleaning out the aggregator. Here are several China-related maps from the Strange Maps blog.
MAPS OF CHINA
Populations of China Compared to Countries
China as an Island (from “The Geopolitics of China” at Investors Insight)
CHINA IN THE WORLD
The Cannibal Map of the World (Tibetan literature apparently does talk about eating human body parts)
The World as Seen From Paris (for all the Chinese netizens who get mad at Sarkozy. Look, the French have always been like this with everybody)
Cathay, Here I Come (the map Columbus thought would get him to Asia)
The New World Order (as imagined in 1942)
Patients per Doctor of the World (950:1 in China, 390:1 in U.S., 230:1 in Russia)
The World According to Country Code Top Level Domains (China & India actually not to scale, reduced 30% so as not to ruin the layout)
The Lost Continent of Mu (the Atlantis of the Pacific, the missing link between Chinese, Turkish – hence the appearance of the word Uighur, Ataturk actually researched this – and Mayan cultures)
What a great collection, I’m definitely using a few of these for class as well as putting Strange Maps into my RSS reader.
Thanks!
Yo, this map reminds me of a posting at dragonhunting, http://dragonhunting.com/2008/literal-map-of-china-and-neighbors/

Thanks for putting those all together on one page.
Pretty awesome!
@ The New World Order Map
Yeah, thanks a lot Maurice Gomberg, for giving us Romanians, not to mention, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbs, Belorussians, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Khazaks, Iranians, Uzbeks, Armenians, Georgians etc GIFT-WRAPPED to the Soviets.
Excuse me while I go desecrate the bastard’s grave, laughing all the way. Take a look at the map and, if your homeland lies drenched in the horrible Communist Pink-of-Doom, you’re invited as well. The more the merrier.
I will not deny it is not an interesting, if not a chilling reminder of the scourge upon mankind that are policies of appeasement, Communism and superpowers in general.
