    language: en-US
main entity: Why is China's population so much larger than Japan's?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: China has 1.4 billion people versus Japan's 125 million due to historical, geographical, and policy differences. China's vast land area (9.6 million km²) can support much larger populations. Additionally, China abandoned its one-child policy in 2015, while Japan has experienced declining birth rates due to economic factors and social preferences, resulting in an aging population with median age of 49.4 years.
    language: en-US
main entity: How do the political systems compare?
