This visualization displays the number of asylum seekers arriving in Canada from various countries of origin between 1959 and 1970. It uses a red arc to connect Washington, D.C. and Beijing across an equirectangular projection of the world map. The map is rendered using the `d3.geo` API, with graticule, land, and boundary layers. The asylum data is loaded from a CSV file and joined with the country features from a TopoJSON world atlas.
