"A large population is a fundamental aspect of China's reality, but now we have to give the crown of the biggest population in the world to India. China is now home to the second largest population. So for China our achievements, however great, would be very small when divided by 1.4 billion, but a problem, however small, would be huge when multiplied by 1.4 billion. This is a unique challenge for a country of our size. In the meantime, big also means strength."
