Learn to read the y-axis. It’s ten 8 people out of millions. And the difference is six people.
And there is no information on how the data is collected. Perhaps China labels the deaths as heart failure or some other cause of death.
And like the other comments states, these numbers needs to be weighted for population.

I don’t have access to the source data since it’s paid, but I would assume that OurWorldInData knows to aggregate Europe per population, and not just average the values per country. France is not the only outlier, there’s also Norway and probably some others I haven’t seen

Our World in Data conducts pretty rigorous research. I’ve looked up their studies before, and they’re pretty impressive. They know what they’re doing.
