Projected Population in 2030: 1.4 billion 

China, formerly the most populated country, has now been surpassed by India. In 2023, China’s population is 1.426 billion, a 0.02% decrease from 2022. If this trend continues, the population is expected to be 1.4 billion in 2030 and 1.3 billion by 2050. This decline results from long-term policies like the one-child policy, leading to an aging population and lower birth rates.
