Ranked: China’s Largest Trading Partners in 2025 📦
Why it spread
This post from @VisualCap on 2026-03-12 spread because it hit a hot topic that week with a treemap of China's largest trading partners in 2025, drawing 35,023 views, 181 likes, 59 reposts, 4 quotes and 46 saves, even though its quote rate was below average.
What worked
- The subject was a hot topic that week, which gave the chart a ready audience.
- The treemap was an unusual chart type, standing out from the usual bar and line formats.
- The post was branded and carried a source line, which added credibility for a data journalism account.
What to borrow
We could take a topic that is already being talked about that week and present it as a treemap of totals, keeping our own source line and branding so the format feels familiar but the shape feels fresh.
Careful
Do not read too much into the raw view and like counts, since the quote rate was below average and the design polish and self labelling were only medium, so the format alone did not carry the post.
