Talk:China
Appearance
Q1: Why is this article about the People's Republic of China?
A1: "China" is overwhelmingly used to refer to the People's
Republic of China rather than the Republic of China in both the Chinese and English languages. For relevant policy details, see WP:COMMONNAME. Q2: Why is the Chinese government not described as "authoritarian" (or by similar terms) in the infobox?
A2: A community consensus was reached which overwhelmingly opposed the inclusion of the term "authoritarian" and similar terms in the infobox (see archived discussion). However, this question may be revisited in the future. |

Population
There's a small mistake in the population figure (right-hand box). It should be 1,370,536,875 (according to the 2010 Census quoted [1]) and not 1,339,724,852.
- The figure you give includes Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. The article, despite its title, is about the People's Republic of China. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- There is a point here though - the article as formulated (which of course follows majority real-world usage of the term "China" in a modern, geopolitical sense everywhere else) does include HK and Macao in its scope, although not Taiwan. Hence, the overall population should probably be noted in the infobox as the combined "mainland", HK and Macao stats, perhaps with the latter two noted separately - or additionally if we stick with the current "mainland" figure as the headline number - in parentheses or something.
