Great example of how to pad your chart to push an agenda. Granted, I am for this agenda, but this kind of stuff definitely detracts from it.

Sorry, maybe I was too quick to jump on the hype train. Could you elaborate what's wrong with it? This might also be interesting to read spelled out for others.

Besides that first year jump by China, most of the growth there is in the Buffer/Unknown section. Remove it, and the chart looks a lot less impressive.

To be fair though, the legend doesn't mention all of Oceania, so Australia and New Zealand would be included in the buffer. So it's not necessarily invalid data
