Poverty reduction China Indonesia
Our World in Data's line chart drew 61.5K views on X: 2.2x its typical post and #35 of 139 Our World in Data charts we track by views. Read Oct 14, 2026.
China reduced extreme poverty fast, but Indonesia hasn’t been far behind.
Why it spread
This post spread because it paired a clear, self-explaining line chart with a strong comparison story, reaching 56,178 views, 929 likes, 290 reposts, 39 quotes, and 202 saves, with a quote rate in the top quarter and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The chart explains itself, so viewers grasp the China versus Indonesia poverty comparison without extra reading.
- The framing is a familiar poster child story with a twist, which invites many quotes and discussion.
- The post is branded, shows a source line, and uses a simple line form with high self-labelling, making it easy to trust and share.
What to borrow
We could use the same form by taking one well known benchmark and one close follower in our own data, then letting a simple labelled line chart carry the comparison.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate or source reach as proof of universal success, and do not copy the exact poverty framing without checking whether our data supports a similar close-follower story.
