      There's nothing in the western half. The Heihe–Tengchong Line divides the area of China into two roughly equal parts with contrasting population densities. As of 2015, 94% of China's population live east of the line, in 43% of its area, whereas 57% of the area of the country is west of the line, but only 6% of the population.
