Not made in China Why is this important? Cartography that is printed on globes exported from China may show manipulated land borders and island territories that are not recognised by the United Nations and western countries. China subsidise globe manufacturing to make them cheaper to buy and this is used to increase China's 'soft power'.
We only supply globes with cartography that is printed in Europe or the United States which accurately reflect our world.
