which helps explain why China is such a ferocious and effective competitor to the U.S. in tech and business and in military capability
there are 195 countries in the world - of course many of the countries are very small - but still
more that one out every 6 people in the world is from China_______pretty amazing to think about that

My problem with your theory is that although China has a population way more than its share, but who are these people not tied to the government and living the average Chinese life? Most are uninformed, disconnected from any social order, and see famine as more of a threat to them than government politics.
China has a geography issue. Most all of its land mass is too elevated to sustain life. The population is basically stuck at lower altitudes, therefore China is really a much smaller country than people think.
