As of August 2014, the current Chinese population is roughly 1,336,300,000 people. India has 1,248,270,000 people in their country. These numbers come from their respective countries population count. As of right now India is projected to pass China in terms of population by the year 2028. This is mainly because China greatly discourages their inhabitants to have more than one child as fines and child payments are natural penalties for breaking this law. However, there are still many people within both of these countries that are unaccounted for because of, usually, slum areas. An estimated number of people living in China counting such people is 1,393,783,836. India's altered population is 1,267,401,809.
