Chinese population distribution

Definition

The Chinese population distribution refers to the spatial pattern or arrangement of the Chinese population in a particular area, region, or country. It involves understanding where and how the Chinese people are distributed across different locations.

Case Studies

• Bangladesh, with its dense population along the Ganges Delta, exemplifies clustered distribution due to fertile land.
• Australia's population is mainly coastal, sparse in the arid interior, illustrating how environment affects distribution.

Impact

Population distribution influences infrastructure development, resource allocation, and service provision. Dense areas may face overcrowding; sparsely populated regions might lack basic amenities.
