It is widely understood that People's Republic of China have the largest population, however what is interesting is that their population makes up nearly 20% of the worlds population. The 2010 China Census reports that there is 1,339,724,852 persons in China, totaling 19.35% of the worlds people. Due to so many people living in China, they are enforcing a One-Child policy which restricts families to only having one child.

Here above is an image which shows the population density of China. It is evident that in the East and South East the population is much more dense. To the west and south west the it is evident that it is much more remote due to the lower amounts of people residing in the area. In some regions, the density is around 520 people per square mile, which is an extremely interesting result as there seems to be so many people living in such a small area.
