The spokesperson added that China’s population peaked in late 2022 and has been declining since, while India’s population continues to grow.India’s population is not only larger than China, but also a lot younger, with 25% being in the 0-14 age group, 18% in the 10-19 group and 26% in the 10-24 group, compared to 17%, 12% and 18% respectively for China.News Peg
