When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now" "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" The Book of Truth

What would the US' demographic divide entail? They're much more evenly distributed than a place like China. You've got the old Continental Divide, but that doesn't mean much for demography these days. You've also got the Mason Dixon Line, but I wonder what that even means anymore for population distribution. You could divide politics readily, but people?

The answer for the question "why big countries have so much uninhabited terrain" is in the question itself. Big coutries are big because they occupy big masses of unpopulated land, with literally no locals to oppose them.

The MAIN reason why the USA western media falsely accuses CHINA of mistreating Uyghur Muslims is because they want to prevent the 1.6 Billion Chinese worldwide and 2.0 Billion Muslims from working together. Both these groups have been discriminated by USA and the WEST for decades and are more likely to work together. Chinese & Muslim nations working together will lead to US losing its dominance of the world. Plus this will gain Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe and African support too including the rest of the world such as Latin America.

It’s very simple. As a Chinese I will tell you that most people prefer to live in the Eastern side for the same reason many Russians prefer to live in European Western Russia rather than Siberia. The climate in the West of China is simply too cold, the terrain is frozen and there are many mountains, making it hard for farming, the land is of little value, I would only ever consider going there for exploring and adventuring.

As someone who has been West of that line, what comes to mind is mountain wastes and deserts. That's pretty much the take aways.

Eastern China has better land for farming, more water, and a milder climate. This makes it easier for people to live there. Western China is mostly mountains and desert. It is difficult to grow food there and the weather is very extreme. People have been living in Eastern China for thousands of years. This has led to the development of major cities, infrastructure, and economic activity in the region. There are more job opportunities in Eastern China.
Just check the colour, green means good environment and climate. Tibet and Qinghai is plateau mountains, Xinjiang (my hometown) covered by desert and mountains with long winter. Similarly, Gansu lakes water resource. The east and south have vast plains with plenty of rivers. In terms of trade, the east has a long coastline and the Yangtze River connects the inland provinces in the south. China's manufacturing industry is also concentrated here, which provides most of the employment and economic output.

This sort of thing isn't very unusual. There are plenty of countries whose populations are very unevenly distributed. Russia's population is concentrated mostly in the West, Australia's population is concentrated mostly in the South East, Canada's in the South East, Scandinavia's in the South, Egypt's population is concentrated almost entirely along the Nile ext. ext. Edit: The original post said "South West" for Canada this was a typo I corrected it.

Most of them are right, however I would like to point out that the Taklamakan desert is populated by uyghurs, which is mostly an agricultural ethnic group but not nomads. The desert was a great place for agriculture as long as there is a river, such as Tarim River for Taklamakan and Shule, Dang (Sarigalgin), Ejin and Shiyang River for Hexi. Also, the old uyghurs (Huihu or Huihe) and central asians might be nomads but are in alliance with Chinese as they all have the same enemy, the Xiongnu and Turkic khanate from the Gobi desert.

The Tibetans aren't Chinese and don't want to the either, but since the Tibetan region holds a lot of strategic value China wants to control it. Taking an area by war might work in the short-term, but there will be in-fighting, rebels, terrorists etc who will fight for their independence. However if you, instead of going to war, resettle a lot of your patriotic/nationalistic people into an area you will gradually get more and more support as times goes on since you're resettling more and more people. Sooner or later there will be enough Han Chinese resettled for the Chinese government to use that as an excuse to annex that region and call it Chinese.

@@FalloutUgglan Yeah that makes sense. However, I did some digging and it seems that people out in Xinjiang or other western provinces don't even follow the Beijing timezone. So schools and restaurants are open at different times from like 11am - 7pm. Instead of 9am to 5pm. Since a lot of Chinese have migrated west, they will also have to get used to the timezone issue. In Xinjiang its nearly 50/50 split between Han and Uyghur, so it's becoming more of a headache for the Han there as well - yet the government isn't changing timezones. So whatever the issue may be, I definitely don't think it has anything to with Han supremacy or what not Edit: since the timezone was decreed like 70 years ago, it would've made sense because there were almost no Han Chinese out west. However that isn't the case anymore and if the government did really do it for the Han people, then they would have implemented timezones better to make life easier for the Han in the west. But they haven't and they have no plan to.
Thanks a lot
