    Mao died in '76. This wasn’t some great achievement, but the end of one of the most catastrophic policies any country has submitted its own population to.

    Nah. Even if we eyeball the start of the curve, like I did, it clearly starts way before 1976+19 = 1995:

    And upon further inspection even my eyeballed 1991 is a bit too late; 1969+19 = 1988 would make a better fit. It’s something that happened before the 70s.
