There is considerable doubt about the most populous country between China and India because of the possibility of Chinese authorities concealing the real number of its population, which makes the figures cast doubtable, compared to the health figures disclosed by India, thus continuing to ask the puzzling question: Is China the most populous country in the world Mother of India?

Russian journalist Vladimir Scusarif says Chinese officials exaggerate birth data to hide the dire consequences of harsh demographic politics and get more funds for primary schools from the authorities, making their supremacy over India, which has long been known for its high population, questionable.

Statistics

The author also attributed the researcher to the US researcher as saying that Beijing's economic and social policy and even foreign affairs are based on false demographic information. He accuses the Family Planning Bureau, which wants to show rapid population growth and conceal the reality of strict policy of reducing the birth rate in previous years.

"The American researcher was not the first to introduce such a hypothesis and point to the practices of some Chinese authorities, but the policy is gradually being cut off," said the author, deputy director of the Asia and Africa Institute at the Moscow State University, Andrey Carnev. Should be taken with some skepticism, especially as it is inaccurate. "
