China is the largest source of merchandise goods (by value) for around two-thirds of countries worldwide .  In many countries, China has overtaken the United States as the largest origin of their imported goods.  China’s trade surplus has officially topped $1 trillion, marking the first time any country has ever reached such an excess of exports over imports. 🌏 Our World in Data is a project of Global Change Data Lab, a nonprofit based in the UK.  Our World in Data offers a curated collection of charts on its website as well as datasets, indicators and  Grapher Chart API .  Our World in Data (OWID) built their own open source data visualization platform Grapher because Datawrapper, Tableau, Plotly, various libraries based on d3 were not suitable.

This choropleth map illustrates what a brutal summer India is experiencing this year.  Source - Hindustan Times 14 out of 36 regions in the country have baked through over 15 heat wave days between March 1 and June 9 as per data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).  Since normal temperatures vary across India, the criteria for declaring a heat wave also differs.   Generally, heat waves are declared when temperatures on the plains exceed 40°C, exceeding 37°C in coastal areas, and exceeding 30°C in the hills.  There's also a deviation factor involved, where temperatures must be 4.5 to 6.4 degrees Celsius above the average maximum for at least two consecutive days.  If the deviation is even higher (over 6.4 degrees Celsius), it's classified as a severe heat wave. The impact of these heat waves is further aggravated by factors like high humidity, high wind speed, and the duration of the events.
