Here are some facts about the population of China:
China is in Stage 4 of the DTM model. Low birth and death rates. In China, the death rate per thousand is awfully low. China is on a pretty constant increase. There are not many people dying in China so this makes the population stay large even though there is a slow birth rate. The HIV rate for example, is low. This adds to the low death rate in stage 4. Also, the undernourished population is low which also adds to this low death rate.
