Yes, they have a humongous population, but that's the result of several millennia of civilization supported by agriculture. The difference between them and other places with a huge population (except Europe and Japan, for slightly different reasons) is that theirs doesn't grow at any meaningful rate, and that's because they were the only ones to implement radical population control several decades ago. I do hope the irony of your statement isn't lost on you in light of this fact.The issue with China right now isn't population growth (this isn't the 1600s anymore), it's consumption and pollution.</blockquote>
