    I’ve never seen a sinocentric modern map before. Weird that they decided to go with portrait mode.

          That’s what every map looked like when I lived in Korea. Took me a while to get used to.

          The one posted by OP really took me a minute to wrap my head around.

      It’s not really sino-centered though. It’s indian ocean centered at best. As another user pointed out, it says it exists to see the world from a different perspective. It’s not to be useful, only to show how things can look so much different with different perspectives.
