China's Belt and Road Initiative is a gargantuan master plan out to the year 2049 involving over 1,500 projects and mega projects, 150 nations, over 75% of the world's energy reserves, and much, much more.

Their Grand Strategy, whole-of-government roadmap for conquering the world and supplanting the United States as the hegemonic power in a new world order with China at the center is often portrayed using maps, but I decided to try and conceptualize it using the Periodic Table.
