Before I answer the question of why are there so many people in China, answer me this, why is a giraffe's neck so long?
Answer - so the giraffe can keep his head connected to his body.
Not funny? Then you can stop reading now.
Mao's policies probably had something to do with the huge number of Chinese
But, I am thinking of something else.
Why does China have so many people?
Somebody has to eat all the food at least one sow is turning out.
A sow in Fujian province gave birth to 28 piglets.
That's a lot of ham, bacon and pork chops. Or at least it will be someday.
Mama pig has to feed the little porkers in shifts.
Fully grown, the piggies might make a one day meal at some small college. China has a lot of people.
