Population:
The Population of China is 1,344,130,000 (as of 2011) but is steadily increasing. The fertility rate of China is 1.7, which means that each woman gives birth to 1.7 children throughout her whole life.
Beijing's population is 20,180,000 (as of 2011), so the city must be crowded. Be aware of pickpockets! Stay away from large crowds!
