According to projections by the World Population Review, India has surpassed China as the world’s most populous nation.
While India’s population was 1.42 billion as of January 18, China for the first time reported a fall of 850,000 since the 1960s and now stands at 1.41 billion.
The last time China reported a fall was during the ‘Great Leap Forward’, an economic and social campaign led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1958 to 1962, leading to widespread famine and starvation.
According to India’s National Commission on Population, it will reach 1.52 billion by 2036.
According to information made public by the National Statistics Bureau, China's population decreased by 8.5 lakh in 2022 compared to the previous year.
