A bilateral graph is a visual representation of numerical or other information, often used for comparative purposes.  The graph above is detailing approval rates of the leadership of China.  This bilateral graph is comparing Europe, the Americas, Asia, Middle East/North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa.  Immediately, the approval rates in Sub-Saharan Africa jump off the chart.  Highest disapproval rates belong to Middle East/North Africa.  Bilateral graphs facilitate comparisons.
