    I am fairly certain these numbers are inflated. China Dan hacked the Shanghai police bureau 2 years back. There appears to be 924ish million people in china. It makes sense to fudge these numbers to appear strong on the world stage. Mind you if everyone had the discrepancy the same as the Chinese the world population numbers would be about 5 billion. That seems very low.
