Population of the world is around 6.5 billion. Twenty percent of population in the world lives in China mainland. China has a population of 1.3 million. The china government is trying to limit population growth very strongly. But China has a new population of 10 million every year. According to positive estimation, population of china will be able to decrease slightly after 2020.

Enablers:
