    Eh, it’s diminished when that one country holds nearly 17% of earth’s entire population, or nearly as much as the next 6 countries by population combined.

    When you have that much market, nearly anything you do will break population-based records.

      India and China have similar populations. It’s a bit disingenuous to say China has as much pop as the next 6 countries.

        India is #1, China is #2.

        So yes, it is accurate to say that China has roughly as much population as #3-8
