Why does China have so many people?

Answer 1

cause the land is too small for the growing population so it appears they are tons and yons of people

Answer 2

Prior to China's One-Child policy, Chinese believes that a big family is a sign of prosperity. Furthermore, children are thought as a parent's old age investment because at that point in time, there is no such thing as a retirement plan. Children are, quite literally, their future. China is also a sizable country, and as yet fully modernized. Many in the rural areas live a harsh life and often depends on their children for labour.

Answer 3

Over a hundred ethnic groups have existed in China. In terms of numbers, however, the pre-eminent ethnic group in China is the Han, which is a group so diverse in its culture and language that some conceive of it as a larger overarching group bringing together many smaller, distinct ethnic groups sharing common traits in language and culture. Throughout history, many ethnic groups have been assimilated into neighboring ethnicities or disappeared without a trace. Several previously distinct ethnic groups have been Sinicized into the Han, causing its population to increase dramatically; at the same time, many within the Han identity have maintained distinct linguistic and cultural traditions, though still identifying as Han. Many times in the past millennia many foreign groups have, in turn, shaped Han language and culture, for example the queue is a pig tail hairstyle strictly enforced by the Manchurians on the Han populace. The term Zhonghua Minzu is sometimes used to describe a notion of a "Chinese nationality" transcending ethnic divisions.

The government of the People's Republic of China now officially recognizes a total of 56 ethnic groups, of which the largest is the Han Chinese. China's overall population exceeds 1.3 billion. With the global human population currently estimated at about 6.5 billion, China is home to approximately 20%, or one-fifth of the world's population.

The lack of birth control and promotion of population growth during the rule of Mao Zedong resulted in a demographic explosion. As a response to the problems this is causing, the government of the PRC has enacted a birth control policy, commonly known as the One-child policy
