ORIGINAL: relay londonswitch here are some more accurate figures along with the links on population of India and China... http://www.indiachld.com/population_of_india.htm http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-03 As you can see i was not making up these figures off the top of my head ! First link doesn't work Second link is too slow, but when it does make it, I haven't got an open mind on the integrity of this publication, having seen my own data distorted in it last Feb 2003. It is not a bias free organ of the press. China Daily is I *think* owned by the United Daily News group, about whom the Asia Media Network have some reservations. Thirdly, I agreed with you about your figures being broadly correct. I didn't say you were making those up. I am making the point that if you use figures to give weight to an arugment, their source must be transparent, and the peers of those giving the data should have made some assessment of their validity.
