  It's funny how Bangladesh has more people than Russia and Russia is like 50 times bigger, if not more.
context: Those two countries (China and India) make up 35% of the entire planet's population.  That's crazy. >
  
  And 70% of downtown Toronto! >
  
  There's a lot of Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh in that. >
  
  Nah man, there is only Chinese and Indian.  If you are Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Pilipino, Thai, you are all Chinese.  If you are Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshis, then you are all Indian. >
  
  Taiwanese are actually really chinese ethnically, same language, same culture, etc >
  
  Bro seriously? >
  
  He’s right, but the Taiwanese don’t like being associated with the communists up north, to such an extreme degree that they don’t consider themselves Chinese.
  Even though that’s not true at all, period.
  Cultural difference is about on the same level as Russia and Ukraine, which is to say… not too different.
  Only significant difference is in political philosophy. >
  
  Isn't there a small subsection of their population that are actually indigenous Taiwanese that aren't the same folks that ran from the mainland? >
  
  Yes, indigenous taiwanese are different >
  
  And India is like 1/3rd the size of China! >
  
  A lot of China is fairly uninhabitable though. You’ve got the Tibetan plateau in the southwest, the taklamakan desert in the west and the Gobi desert in the north. 
  Roughly 80% of their population lives in an area just a bit larger than India. >
  
  That sounds really crowded! 
  I remember in the civilization games, if your cities were too crowded, your people would become enraged. 
  "It's too crowded!" "There's not enough ROOM!" 
  It was pretty funny. Even had little angry faces for angry population. >
  
  South Asia is definitely still the worst in that regard. The densest populated state in America, NJ, has a density of 488km2. 
  Bangladesh has a density of 1328km2.
