China is bigger than the lower 48, but lots of it is uninhabitable.

Our Trumpster brother has repeatedly said the current level population world wide is not sustainable. He was thinking that 4-5 billion might be the maximum, but I’ve seen other sources that claim that if we want a first world level life style, then the earth can only support perhaps 2 billion. I am not an expert and cannot guess at the maximum level if we want a planet that supports other lifeforms too — if we don’t want a world as in TOS “Mark of Gideon”.
