I ran across this interesting map on the inter webs the other day. It divides the population of China into four different regions, each with a population roughly equal to that of the United States. As you can see, the issue in China is not simply that the population of China is so large (1.35 billion); it’s that it’s unevenly distributed. Don’t like crowds? Go west, my friends, go west!
Go here to see the data behind the map.
Note: The grey areas obviously indicate areas that the mapmaker considers to be disputed territory.
