Apparently there are 144 million in Bangladesh [which surprised me - what a huge number!]

So, combine Pakistan, Bangladesh and India and I think you are ahead of China. Though I'm not sure how one goes about counting such numbers of moving people.

Sometimes I try to count ducklings with a duck and get lost at about 8 as they jostle around and overtake one another. And that's when they are standing there where I can see them. People don't stand in rows and count themselves off to make it easy for census people.

Maybe there are really only 50 million in China, 60 million in India, and 70 million in Japan.

Street demonstrations are commonly given widely differing numbers and that's with everyone right there on the street.

China counts Tibet, so India could as reasonably count Pakistan and Bangladesh.

It's quite a crowd, any way you measure it.
