The actual Han China is smaller than India. It is the China occupied former independent countries like Tibet, Xinjiang, etc. that make China larger in land mass.
Yes but they all count toward what is reported as China's population. The point is, India has one hell of a lot of people jammed into not that big a country.
That is true unless of course there is an uprising in Tibet and Xinjiang which leads to their independence. I believe pot is already simmering in Xinjiang.
Anyhow, this thread is not about China so let us leave China alone
