They have been doing that with Pakistan.
Fun fact. China and India combined make up roughly 35% of the worlds population. >

Another fun fact: the United States is the third most populous nation on Earth; yet, if you added a billion more people to the U.S., it would still be third. >

Please don't do that, I can barely handle what we have now. >

Imagine housing prices if you added a billion more people lol jesus >

I mean, housing is already pretty unattainable for the average American. Would it really change much? >

The number of slums would raise 1000% >

Amazing they couldn’t put the damn population in the title. India: 1.417 billion. China: 5M fewer. >

That 5 million is the entire population of my country, Finland. Wow. >

It’s not a contest guys, let’s tone it down. >

Great, more people born into poverty and a world which is falling apart with not enough food or infrastructure to support the population >

Both countries have reached replacement level fertility.. china will face a population decline in the next decade while india will reap it's demographic dividend with a stable population.. >

India will start declining eventually. >

I am Chinese-Canadian, and I am starting to believe a conspiracy theory without evidence: due to population aging, the government is singling out overseas residents and selectively not paying their pensions. If they don't pay pension benefits to people living in the mainland, they starve and start protesting. If they know you are overseas (because you use the Consulate app and not the provincial app due to not having a Chinese cell phone number), they know you can't really do anything to protest them without flying (or you may not even be allowed to enter the country if you chose to naturalize in your country of residence.
My mother is 60, and has been collecting her pension for 10 years (this is a small pension, we are talking about USD $430 a month, which is poverty-level income in Guangzhou, where my mother worked.) My aunts and uncles get a lot more pension money because they were government employees (as much as 6-7 times the amount that my mother receives).
Normally, pension money is distributed around the 10th of each month. It is the 19th already (and 3 days before Chinese New Year) and she still has not gotten the money. She contacted all those relatives and they all said they got their money a week ago (they are all physically in China). Also, there is no way that the Chinese government would think that she is dead because she proved to the Social Security and Human Resources Administration (the government department responsible for paying her pension) that she is still alive just 3 months ago via facial recognition. >

Looks like they fucked around (1 child policy until 2015 and mass infanticide of female infants) and are finding out.  This decline is going to be seen for years and years to come as males are going to have a hard time finding a female partner. >

Maybe all those single Chinese men will import the Russian widows once Putin kills all the Russian men in Ukraine.
