India to have more people than China by mid-2023

 According to the United Nations, the population of India is expected to reach 1.4286 billion which would be 2.9 million more than China which is predicted to have a population of  1.4257 billion. This would make the nation of India the most populated country in the world. This shows that the Chinese birth rate is decreasing at an almost alarming rate as it would be decreasing for the first time since the final years of the great leap forward. Although the numbers in India are merely an estimate as the census has not been counted in India since 2011 but the census is looking to return to India in 2024.
