FYI for this discussion: China's population hit 1.3 billion in January, is expected to inch up to only 1.31 billion in 2019 and decline rapidly after that, according to projections by Asian Demographics, the Economist magazine says. "The number of people aged under 40 may already have peaked at 800m and is forecast to decline by one-third, or 250m, over the next 20 years." Any projections about land or natural resource use should take into account these more realistic figures.
