This scatter plot visualizes annual export values from 2000 to 2016, comparing shipments to the United States against those to China, with each point representing a country-year observation. The chart uses D3 v5's `scaleLinear`, `axisLeft`, and `axisBottom` to construct axes with abbreviated number formatting, while circles are rendered via SVG. Data comes from a CSV file loaded with `d3.csv`, and the code explicitly converts six country columns to numeric values before plotting. Red, semi-transparent circles reveal overlapping data density, with labeled axes and a title indicating the export comparison.
