In 2024, around 21.83 million permanent residents were living in the administrative area of Beijing municipality. Back in 2017, the Beijing municipal government had announced plans to limit Beijing's population to 23 million by 2020 in order to mitigate the contradiction between rapid population growth and resource and environment restrictions.

In 2024, around **** percent of the population of Beijing municipality in China were 60 years old or older. The share of people aged 65 or older amounted to **** percent. The share of old people will further grow in the future as the median age of the population is gradually rising.

China is a vast and diverse country and population density in different regions varies greatly. In 2024, the estimated population density of the administrative area of Shanghai municipality reached about 3,911 inhabitants per square kilometer, whereas statistically only around three people were living on one square kilometer in Tibet. Population distribution in China China's population is unevenly distributed across the country: while most people are living in the southeastern half of the country, the northwestern half – which includes the provinces and autonomous regions of Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia – is only sparsely populated. Even the inhabitants of a single province might be unequally distributed within its borders. This is significantly influenced by the geography of each region, and is especially the case in the Guangdong, Fujian, or Sichuan provinces due to their mountain ranges. The Chinese provinces with the largest absolute population size are Guangdong in the south, Shandong in the east and Henan in Central China. Urbanization and city population Urbanization is one of the main factors which have been reshaping China over the last four decades. However, when comparing the size of cities and urban population density, one has to bear in mind that data often refers to the administrative area of cities or urban units, which might be much larger than the contiguous built-up area of that city. The administrative area of Beijing municipality, for example, includes large rural districts, where only around 200 inhabitants are living per square kilometer on average, while roughly 20,000 residents per square kilometer are living in the two central city districts. This is the main reason for the huge difference in population density between the four Chinese municipalities Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing shown in many population statistics.

In 2024, there were around 719 million male inhabitants and 689 million female inhabitants living in China, amounting to around 1.41 billion people in total. China's total population decreased for the first time in decades in 2022, and population decline is expected to accelerate in the upcoming years. Birth control in China From the beginning of the 1970s on, having many children was no longer encouraged in mainland China. The one-child policy was then introduced in 1979 to control the total size of the Chinese population. According to the one-child policy, a married couple was only allowed to have one child. With the time, modifications were added to the policy, for example parents living in rural areas were allowed to have a second child if the first was a daughter, and most ethnic minorities were excepted from the policy. Population ageing The birth control led to a decreasing birth rate in China and a more skewed gender ratio of new births due to boy preference. Since the negative economic and social effects of an aging population were more and more felt in China, the one-child policy was considered an obstacle for the country’s further economic development. Since 2014, the one-child policy has been gradually relaxed and fully eliminated at the end of 2015. However, many young Chinese people are not willing to have more children due to high costs of raising a child, especially in urban areas.

In 2024, the mortality rate in Beijing municipality ranged at approximately **** deaths per 1,000 inhabitants. Beijing's birth rate was slightly higher than its mortality rate that year, resulting in a natural population increase on a low level. As the population is aging, the number of deaths will most likely increase in the future.

CHCP Overview:The human behavior and brain are shaped by genetic, environmental and cultural interactions. Recent advances in neuroimaging integrate multimodal imaging data from a large population and start to explore the large-scale structural and functional connectomic architectures of the human brain. One of the major pioneers is the Human Connectome Project (HCP) that developed sophisticated imaging protocols and has built a collection of high-quality multimodal neuroimaging, behavioral and genetic data from US population. A large-scale neuroimaging project parallel to the HCP, but with a focus on the East Asian population, will allow comparisons of brain-behavior associations across different ethnicities and cultures. The Chinese Human Connectome Project (CHCP) is launched in 2017 and led by Professor Jia-Hong GAO at Peking University, Beijing, China. CHCP aims to provide large sets of multimodal neuroimaging, behavioral and genetic data on the Chinese population that are comparable to the data of the HCP. The CHCP protocols were almost identical to those of the HCP, including the procedure for 3T MRI scanning, the data acquisition parameters, and the task paradigms for functional brain imaging. The CHCP also collected behavioral and genetic data that were compatible with the HCP dataset. The first public release of the CHCP dataset is in 2022. CHCP dataset includes high-resolution structural MR images (T1W and T2W), resting-state fMRI (rfMRI), task fMRI (tfMRI), and high angular resolution diffusion MR images (dMRI) of the human brain as well as behavioral data based on Chinese population. The unprocessed "raw" images of CHCP dataset (about 1.85 TB) have been released on the platform and can be downloaded. Considering our current cloud-storage service, sharing full preprocessed images (up to 70 TB) requires further construction. We will be actively cooperating with researchers who contact us for academic request, offering case-by-case solution to access the preprocessed data in a timely manner, such as by mailing hard disks or a third-party trusted cloud-storage service. V2 Release (Date: January 16, 2023):Here, we released the seven major domains task fMRI EVs files, including: 1) visual, motion, somatosensory, and motor systems; 2) category specific representations; 3) working memory/cognitive control systems; 4) language processing (semantic and phonological processing); 5) social cognition (Theory of Mind); 6) relational processing; and 7) emotion processing.V3 Release (Date: January 12, 2024):This version of data release primarily discloses the CHCP raw MRI dataset that underwent “HCP minimal preprocessing pipeline”, located in CHCP_ScienceDB_preproc folder (about 6.90 TB). In this folder, preprocessed MRI data includes T1W, T2W, rfMRI, tfMRI, and dMRI modalities for all young adulthood participants, as well as partial results for middle-aged and older adulthood participants in the CHCP dataset. Following the data sharing strategy of the HCP, we have eliminated some redundant preprocessed data, resulting in a final total size of the preprocessed CHCP dataset is about 6.90 TB in zip files. V4 Release (Date: December 4, 2024):In this update, we have fixed the issue with the corrupted compressed file of preprocessed data for subject 3011, and removed the incorrect preprocessed results for subject 3090. Additionally, we have updated the subject file information list. Additionally, this release includes the update of unprocessed "raw" images of the CHCP dataset in CHCP_ScienceDB_unpreproc folder (about 1.85 TB), addressing the previously insufficient anonymization of T1W and T2W modalities data for some older adulthood participants in versions V1 and V2.
