With the news of China's population being set to hit 8 million people on Tuesday, there has been a lot of attention drawn towards a runaway population or a shrinking population. Tang Huajun, a software developer in China, has been specifically analyzing those around him as the population continues to soar with apprehension. He has discovered trends that support the United Nations' projection that "China's population will start shrinking from next year, when India will likely become the world's most populous country."
