Census Numbers That Don't Work

 For several months....folks have been looking at Russia, and saying the country population number (146-million projected) and saying it's simply not correct.

With folks who left, and who died....some suggest at a minimum....it's down to around 142-million (if the collection was accurate).

Then you have some folks  who suggest it's closer to 130-million...because of crappy collection.

But why stop there?

For several months....Chinese folks have been looking around and noting....a lot of people are simply not there.

The gov't number is 1.04-billion people.....but I've noted a PhD figure doing analysis of different major cities....saying that number is not right.  Adding to it....she suggests that over the past forty years....numbers were inflated (maybe 20-to-30 percent).  Then for the cherry on the cake.....she suggest a high number died from Covid (maybe 100-million).

Chinese who 'left' in the past three or four years?  If you look around the US....there's probably in the range of 100k Chinese who migrated.

If both countries were under-populated?  Well....it would beg questions.
