A few nice the population in china images I found:

Guizhou China


Image by Minneapolis Institute of Arts
The Miao are one of several ethnic minorities living in the
subtropical mountainous areas of southwestern China. Different groups
include the Dong, Yi, Yao, Shui, Bouyi, Li, Gejia, and Bai among many
others. For thousands of years, these migrating peoples have developed
rich, cultural traditions and they are increasingly being recognized
for their extraordinary handcrafted textiles and silver jewelry. It is
the area of costume where mythology, technical skill, and cultural
identity coalesce in vivid aesthetic expression. Until recently, most
of these remote, ethnic villages were relatively isolated from the
majority Han Chinese population. China’s rapid modernization, however,
has penetrated even the minority districts of Guizhou, Yunnan,
Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces. The resultant economic, educational,
and social changes have already begun to erode the look and use of
traditional festive costumes worn by the Miao and other ethnic groups.

Building a harmonised pharmacovigilance framework

Following the very successful Pharmacovigilance Asia conference, PharmaIQ continues the cutting-edge research into the pharmacovigilance field, particularly into the massive and unique market of China.

China has quickly become one of the largest pharmaceutical markets and R&D centers for international pharmaceutical companies due to its huge population and their increased healthcare awareness. In addition, with more and more clinical trial activities taking place in China, building and reinforcing a harmonised pharmacovigilance framework is becoming more critical to reduce drug risks and improve patient safety.
