Figure 1
Change of population scale and urbanization in China and India since 1901Note: China’s data before 1949 came from China’s Population History. Due to the lack of data in 1921 and 1941, the total population of 1928 and 1937 was used instead. The data after 1949 are obtained from the China Statistical Yearbooks. India’s data are obtained from the Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner."
