Often taking a backseat in many international forums to wind and solar power, the issues related to population are the largest there are for China.  Its population, and the management of, are at the core of every issue that China will face, and should be the KEY consideration when solutions are being developed.

A point that the recent article Beijing gets population size warning:

The population upper limit for the city, according to the bureau of land and resources, is 18 million. Currently the population has surpassed 16.3 million.

It is estimated that by 2020 the population will be 21 million.

Already at 21 million, the city of Shanghai faces much the same problem… much the same issues going forward.. and will need to develop solutions that address the masses.

    here is some more information, its helpful, thank u x

    Chinese experts say China is facing population issues such as men outnumbering women by 50 million and an increasingly aging population.

    According to a report in the Beijing Evening News, experts at the first China Population Forum held in Beijing say China’s population has a low growth rate, although zero growth rate will not occur until the middle of the 21st century.

    Hou Yafei, a Beijing Population Institute expert, said a great proportion of the population receives no education after graduating from primary school. Only one in fifty of those 25 years old and over have had a college education. In developed countries that figure is one in four.

    Besides the big difference between the male and female population, statistics also show those 60 years old and over account for more than 10 percent of the population.
