    living space

    6% of chinese people live in 57% of China, living space isn’t an issue at that scale.

    When none of your predictions come true this time, will you do some self-reflection? Did you do any self-reflection about how you’d been convinced that hostile action against Iraq was justified? Afghanistan? Libya? The ongoing occupation of Syria? How previous and upcoming action against Iran?

      Do you mean 94% of Chinese people are concentrated into 43% of the space?

      I mean, that just says that the distribution of people across the land is uneven. It all depends on why. Is that land inhabitable? Is it mountains or desert?

        It does contain mountains and deserts, (and taiga and steppe and deciduous forest and grassland, it’s really, really big) but the main reason it’s less inhabited is that it’s much less developed. https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1000459

        This situation is comparable to the midwest and rockys in the US.
