Always wondered why Tokyo has such a dense population. There are remote parts of Northern Japan that are very sparsely populated that look like a wasteland with abbandoned buildings, schools and railways. Most students go to school in the bigger cities, or move when they have finished school and never return. You can goal day and only see a few very old people in these areas.

Widely traveled here and I find these comparisons fascinating. But one thing to keep in mind is our similarities. People all over the world want the same things. A safe place to raise a family , food to eat , and to laugh. And despite what the media wants us to believe, if you treat people nice no matter your nationality , they will treat you nice.

China has the tendency to not allow "rural workers" (aka peasants) to move freely between cities, meaning a lot of people are in cities with no access to public services just to earn money and send back home. So no one know exactly the size of cities there, not even them.

You appear to support the continued growth of the human population, as shown in the section on Japan v Mexico. Why is Japan's decline population a problem rather than a advantage? Why are people continuing with the believe of an expanding population without any limits?

@rafael_lana

Because declining population in peace times always means older average population too. That means less productivity, taxes and people to care for the elderly.

Extremely wrong, would make sense if the population was declining in perfect proportion. What is really happening is the young population is declining by a lot. That means less productivity, taxes, people to look after the elderly and innovate all those robots you're talking about. Japan, being a very attractive country to live in, with a big diaspora, can easily solve that by relaxing their very strict migration laws however.

It’s not an overcrowded country but only western media tends to fabricate & never tells the truth. It’s population isn’t 172 million but much less. Bangladesh 🇧🇩 consists of 64 Districts & I travelled all of them I didn’t see 172 million people, some statistics say its 162 million others say 180 million population, in reality they’re all wrong. In Bangladesh 🇧🇩 they are regions either inhabited or uninhabited for example Chittagong Hill Tracts mountainous region in south east of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 has population density only of 90 persons per sq km & Sunderbans the largest mangrove forest 🌳 in the world 🌍 situated in southwest of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 has total area of 6,000 sq km but no human settlements. There’s many patches of uninhabited places in all 64 districts even in Dhaka district which is most densely populated in whole Bangladesh 🇧🇩 with 12,000 people per sq kilometre but still has wastelands & green spaces but u media don’t intend to show the truth jus use old Dhaka as scapegoat. Area of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 isn’t 140,000 sq km ur absolutely wrong but total area of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 including nautical miles is 269,000 sq km & soon will add more hidden islands in Bay of Bengal.

From a country that was colonized for more than 200 years (much longer than Africa), no they didn't take all the resources. They barely even scratched surface in fact. Theres not ONE country that was colonized that was looted clean. In many cases (mainly the Americas) , we went from the stone age to the pre industrial age in less than two centuries. Literal 6 millenia of technology gobbled up in 200 years. Gained a common language, technology that was considered magic and some nice infrastructure to kick start our own countries. All of that for some metal, that rarely exceeds the annual production we see now. Stop balmming the colonial process for all our problems, things were just as chaotic or worse before that. Most times worse. Leaders post independence have done way more damage too, but they always have the talking point of blaming the pesky colonizers.
