Talk:Demographics of the People's Republic of China

message: The statement that China's population could be 1.5 to 2b is not very believable. I looked at the cited sources and they are not credible and seem more related to speculation rather than having taken a count of the population itself. Only a census will be accurate. I trust CIA factbook and China's population count website more than those listed sources above. I will remove the 1.5 to 2b estimate from the main page, it seems way to far fetched and it affects the credibility of wikipedia for reliable information.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.235.95 (talk) 22:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Please note that "Peking" is rather Cantonese (Po King) than Mandarin. Another example would be "Hong Kong" (In Cantonese : Heung Gang) is also rather Cantonese than Mandarin (Xiang Gang). 
Therefore, the replacement of Peking into Beijing should not be the matter of confusion with an adopted romanization system (pin yin), but just a different language (Cantonese vs. Mandarin) on which the name of the city was chosen for international use.

message: I found this website  http://www.euromonitor.com/Future_Demographic_China  quite good for showing the demographic structure of china, and how bulges in population in the 1960's and c.1990 have and will affect the current and future age structure of the current and future age structure of china. Note, very good graphic, if it is available to use. Note, doesn't show possible future bulge of births that looks quite feasible around now, as the previous population bulges become parents and create another population bulge.   --Minotaur500 (talk) 13:32, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Real ? 

message: The first paragraph of this article says, "Others believe this figure is greatly exaggerated and that the true impact is closer to 50–60 million." Only one reference is given, which seems to give undue prominence to the views of just one man, Pascal Rocha da Silva. Who is he, whose perspective does he represent, why should the reader accept him as an authority? Also, is support for this position published only in French? Are there no similar opinions in English that could be cited? — IslandGyrl (talk) 10:04, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
