Because before they instituted a 1 child only policy in 1979, the population growth was out of control as many people were not educated about birth control= and did not have the money for it anyway. The population is steadying out now, but the sheer ignorance and poverty caused the population boom in the past which led to economic and environmental problems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy

So many people live in China because they are born there. That's a fact, but the underlying question is: Why is China so populous? The answer to that probably lies in the environmental conditions thousands of years ago. The laws of nature generally increase animal populations when there is an abundance of food and water; so at one time there must have been many edible plants and wild game available and good land for agriculture. In my many trips to China, I can testify that there is very little wild game by Montana, USA standards. My Chinese wife says, "Chinese people eat everything." And from what I have seen, that's true. So there was a huge base population in China which grew and grew over thousands of years. China's slowed it's population growth with the 1-child policy, but it's still the world's most populous place and the Chinese love their children ... so there are many, many people born there. ...and that's why so many people live in China. People and other animals usually live close to where they are born.

Before they only allowed one child per family, the chinese people really didnt care about birth control..Henceforth, they become overpopulated and had to institute a 1 child per family law.

Do you know why you live in your country? If yes, I bet the answer will be the same for a Chinese ;)
