China has the largest population in the world, with a shocking number of 1.3 billion people and growing by the minute. The overpopulation was such a problem that in 1980 it made the one-child policy, which allowed each family in China only one child. This year the policy ended, and in just three months the population has gone up 0.46% since 2015.
The population is projected to increase by 6.8 million by the end of 2016. Overpopulation in a country is the result of the number of people in an area being much higher than the country's available resources. Below, see mesmerizing images of China's overpopulated country:
