The Economist recently came out with another really interesting graph, though this time more so because of the content than the format.

A few things stood out to me. The editors of the piece recognized this too, but the relationship between Pakistan and China is very strong, with some experts calling it stronger than the relationship between Israel and the United States.

My main observation though is how Pakistani people have a lower opinion of South Korea than they do of India. Wikipedia didn’t have anything on why this might be the case. South Koreans on the other hand barely liked India over China, so that can’t be it (friend of an enemy…)
