A map of eastern Asia shows China, labeled in the center in an unshaded area, with five shaded territories surrounding it. These shaded areas correspond to a Key labeled Spheres of foreign influence. China’s border is shown outlined, with a central unshaded area that includes the city of Peking. A large region to the north of the border is labeled Magnolia, and Russia is labeled above that. The entire northern section of China, along with Magnolia, is shaded to represent Russian influence. A small area in the east, north of Korea, is shaded to represent Japanese influence, and includes the city of Port Arthur on the coast of the Yellow Sea. Another small area of Japanese influence borders Hunan in the south, on the South China Sea coast across from Taiwan. A small area in the east bordering the Yellow Sea is shaded to represent German influence. An unlabeled river runs from central China and through this small German territory to the coast. Another large territory to the south stretches across Tibet and Hunan and is shaded to represent British influence, as is Nepal, located outside the China border just below Tibet, bordering India. The Yangzte River runs across this territory to the coastal city of Shanghai by the East China Sea. A fifth region below Hunan is shaded to represent French influence. An unmarked river flows though this area to Hong Kong to the South China Sea. A scale shows 400 miles and 400 kilometers. A compass Rose is included.
