  1. China is adding even more than 300k people per week According to government data, last year more than 20 million people moved to cities, so more than 400 000 per week. Nowadays around 1,5% of China’s population is moving to cities each year and they should achieve 1 billion urban around 2025-26. I don’t think that this process will slow down, because of growing urban economy and larger number of opportunities available each passing year, it could even speed up significantly. From around 20 million people per year to 25-30 million in coming years.
