摘要

China released its census data in May, revealing that the country remains the most populous country in the world with 1.41178 billion people.Once this is added to Africa's population of 1.2 billion, it represents one-third of the total global population of 7.8 billion people. Whilst the population growth has decreased in recent years, China remains an important economy for market expansion strategies, with a middle-class whose spending power is growing fast compared to other global markets.
