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, approximately 127.8 million people lived in Guangdong province in China. That same year, only about 3.7 million people lived in the sparsely populated highlands of Tibet. Regional differences in China China is the world’s most populous country, with an exceptional economic growth momentum. The country can be roughly divided into three regions: Western, Eastern, and Central China. Western China covers the most remote regions from the sea. It also has the highest proportion of minority population and the lowest levels of economic output. Eastern China, on the other hand, enjoys a high level of economic development and international corporations. Central China lags behind in comparison to the booming coastal regions. In order to accelerate the economic development of Western and Central Chinese regions, the PRC government has ramped up several incentive plans such as ‘Rise of Central China’ and ‘China Western Development’. Economic power of different provinces When observed individually, some provinces could stand an international comparison. Jiangxi province, for example, a medium-sized Chinese province, had a population size comparable to Argentina or Spain in 2024. That year, the GDP of Zhejiang, an eastern coastal province, even exceeded the economic output of the Netherlands. In terms of per capita annual income, the municipality of Shanghai reached a level close to that of the Czech Republik. Nevertheless, as shown by the Gini Index, China’s economic spur leaves millions of people in dust. Among the various kinds of economic inequality in China, regional or the so-called coast-inland disparity is one of the most significant. Posing as evidence for the rather large income gap in China, the poorest province Heilongjiang had a per capita income similar to that of Sri Lanka that year.

The age structure of the population in China varies greatly across different regions. In 2023, only around 9.6 percent of the population in Shanghai municipality was aged 14 years or younger, while this share amounted to 24.4 percent in Tibet.

How the Tibetan people adapt to the extreme environment of the plateau is not clear at present. Metabolism, as an important phenotype, plays an important role in maintaining the normal biological function of individuals. Previous studies have shown that some small metabolic molecules can adapt to the extreme environment by regulating the biological processes such as energy metabolism and oxidative stress. In view of this, this project is to find the relationship between the human metabolism and the extreme environmental adaptation by studying the unique metabolic characteristics of Tibetan population compared with the plain population, and then study the plateau adaptation mechanism of Tibetan population from the perspective of metabolism. This data is the metabolome data generated during the implementation of this project. The current data includes the metabolome data of 30 people in the plain. The combined analysis of this data and the subsequent metabolome data can be used to study the metabolism characteristics of the Tibetan people at high altitude in the low oxygen environment.

The reconstruction of historical land cover can not only provide basic data for the simulation of global change and ecological environment effects, but also contribute to the deep understanding of regional human-earth relationship. The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is of great ecological security significance to China, even to the world. Compared with other regions in China, the long-term land cover research on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is weak. " Brahmaputra river and its two tributaries" area refers to the middle reaches of the the Yarlung Zangbo River and its main tributaries. This study first extracted the site data in 3000 years ago from the Atlas of Chinese Cultural Relics in Tibet Autonomous Region , and estimated the population of this period by using burial analysis method. Then, the cropland area was estimated by using the cropland area per person and data of population. We allocated the cropland area into grid by using the cropland allocated method. Thus, we obtained the cropland pattern in 3000 years ago in Brahmaputra river and its two tributaries. Finally, the data well presents the cropland pattern of Brahmaputra river and its two tributaries around 3000 years ago.

In 2023, the urbanization rate in different provinces of China varied between 89.5 percent in Shanghai municipality and 38.9 percent in Tibet. The national average urbanization rate reached around 66.2 percent in 2023. Urbanization and economic development During China’s rapid economic development, the share of people living in cities increased from only 19.4 percent in 1980 to nearly 64 percent in 2020. Urbanization rates are now coming closer to those in developed countries. However, the degree of urbanization still varies significantly between different regions in China. This correlates generally with the level of economic development across different regions in China. In eastern Chinese regions with high personal income levels and high per capita GDP, more inhabitants are living in cities than in the countryside. Influence of geography Another reason for different urbanization rates lies in the huge geographic differences of regions in China. Basically, those regions with a low population density often also display lower urbanization rates, because their inhabitants live more scattered across the land area. These differences will most probably remain despite further economic progress.
