‘China is expected to report that its population dropped in 2020, back to below 1.4 billion. This, if correct, would be nearly a decade earlier than official projections for when the population was to peak.’
Woah, interesting. Looks like India will be number one very soon. The last time I looked, India’s population was projected to reach two billion before slipping back as well. Perhaps it won’t get so high but it looks likely to get a few hundred mil. above Chin.
@jws I keep forgetting about the e-stuff. I haven’t been to the library since the beginning of 2020, if that. I’m sceptical about e-readers though. I’ve never used one but I’ve heard that they don’t support every character and symbol which would be a sin in my book. If it was a P.D.F. with photocopied pages I’d be more inclined to read it. And audiobooks are OK sometimes.

@matigo I’m enjoying reading now more than I ever have in my life. Problem is, I’m buying them faster than I’m reading them.
@matigo Sounds like you’ve spent quite a lot of your life with too little personal time.
