According to an independent Chinese demographer, China's population may be smaller than the official 1.37 billion figure and closer to around 1.29 billion people which is less than India's population. "China's real population may have been about 1.29 billion last year, 90 million fewer people than the official figure released by the National Bureau of Statistics", Yi Fuxian, a scholar, and demographer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison said at a seminar at Peking University on Monday. According to his numbers, India, with more than 1.3 billion people, is now the world's most populous country, overtaking China five years ahead of forecasts.
