    More than a third of the country by population, especially when that population is in the billions, is still pretty large. Not majority rural obviously, but still a large percentage.

    But I was speaking geographically. Isn’t half the country almost completely empty? Or am I confusing something I read somewhere?

      Yeah Western China is basically empty. It’s very mountainous and the land is not fertile.
