How Many People Are Really In China? A Mathematical Question

Dylan Eleven | Truth11.com

The following video suggests that the growth of the Chinese population since 1950 to today, does not make much mathematical sense. The population of China in 1950 was 551,960,000. The current stated population of China is 1,413,683,554.

The person in the video suggests that the actual current Chinese population is 1 billion less than claimed.

When checking the numbers using AI the results are very similar to what she suggests was needed to achieve that stated population growth: 5-6 children per woman. Something she suggests did not happen due to famine, cultural revolution and the 1980-2015 single child policy.

The math using AI;

My Question To ChatGTP: How many children would people need to have if a population was to grow from approximately 500,000,000 in 1950 to 1,413,683,554 today?

AI Response:

Let’s break it down in a simple, intuitive way.

Step 1: Total growth factor

Population grew from 500,000 → 1,413,683,554

Growth factor:

1,413,683,554500,000≈2,827\frac{1,413,683,554}{500,000} \approx 2,827500,0001,413,683,554​≈2,827

So the population multiplied about 2,827×.

Step 2: Number of generations

From 1950 to today (~2026) is about 76 years.

If we assume ~25 years per generation:

7625≈3 generations\frac{76}{25} \approx 3 \text{ generations}2576​≈3 generations

Step 3: Growth per generation

We solve:

m3=2827m^3 = 2827m3=2827 m≈28271/3≈14.1m \approx 2827^{1/3} \approx 14.1m≈28271/3≈14.1

So each generation multiplies by about 14×.

Step 4: Children per couple

Each couple (2 people) would need to produce enough surviving children to multiply the population by 14:

• 2 parents → ~14 children surviving to reproduce
• That means ~7 children per person
• Or ~14 children per couple

Final Answer

👉 About 14 surviving children per couple per generation would be required to grow from 500,000 to 1.41 billion in ~3 generations.

I realize this number does not factor in longer life expectancy and death rate decline. So I asked AI to expand the query to include actual death rates:

My Additional Question: Please factor in to your above calculation actual increased life expectancy of people in China and the actual death rates of China from that same period:

Final Answer

👉 When you include real death rates, the growth from 500,000 → 1.4 billion does NOT require extreme fertility like 14–19 children per couple.

Instead, it can be explained by:

• ~5–6 children per woman
• Combined with a huge drop in mortality

So taking into consideration increased life expectancy, lower death rates and the population growth, the answer is each woman needed to have 5-6 children.

The question is; did Chinese women produce 5-6 children each? The video suggests that is not the case. Especially during the 1980-2015 single child policy.

By her estimates they are still around 500,000,000 in population, 1 billion less than claimed.

It would be interesting for our Truth11.com readers located in China (there are many) to respond in the comments or contact us directly in our contact section, about their experience, if 5-6 children per woman is what they have witnessed. Also any other comments and views on the subject are always welcome.

This is a first look at this subject. Since the CCP took over in 1950, they have stated this population growth. If it has been massively overstated, the question is why? Could it be to show their numbers to be far greater than they are as a fake show of force? Is it an economic fraud? What exactly is going on here?
