Comment on Tracking China by Jon Bruner

Thanks! I don’t know of such a graphic, but I’ve been wanting to do something similar myself. Even though China’s foreign direct investment appears to be massive (and is massive compared to China’s foreign direct investment a decade ago), FDI by the United States is much larger still. And since our dataset here was compiled by a Heritage Foundation researcher entering individual transactions in a database, I’m not sure that the U.S. counterpart for this data exists. If you know of it, please let me know and I’ll be glad to make a graphic out of it.

Brilliant graphic. I’ve been searching for such a graphic that tracks US direct investment abroad, but in vain.

Thank you for posting how you created these interactives. I work for the Indiana Business Research Center. We work with a lot of data and are constantly looking for ways to pull data into Flash pieces. Hearing how other visual journalists do this is great!

Agreed. I pay up to $30 more for a ticket on American or JetBlue when I absolutely have to use Kennedy because Delta’s terminal there is so hellacious.

Add to this the fact that if you start to type in David Paterson into Google, one of the suggestions is ‘David Paterson son’ (who was shooting craps on a sidewalk when police found him in posession of someone else’s ATM card), and another is ‘David Patterson Longmeadow’, an unrelated man who died on a notoriously dangerous curve in Massachussetts.
