This is what I mean about listening to you tube stories about flat earth and shape shifting lizzards. I just went strait to the W.H.O. website and there is no statement or story about 13% of the entire world's population disappearing. Not in China not anywhere. The W.H.O never said that never claimed that not once not ever.
Second the you tube video of elon musk saying 800 million Chinese people disappeared is cut and pasted from a video where he was taking about population reduction in the workforce. He said in a hypothetical reduction of 8-9 hundred million people it would take a loss of 40% of a generation over 3 generations. He not once. Not one single time said 800 million people disappeared. Not even once. How many of these cut and pasted 100% fake lying videos are you gonna stand behind.

Using this method she estimates the real population of China is 500-700 million less than their official number.
Her approach results in an answer within 3% of India's population, so if it is flawed, why isn't it flawed for both countries?
This is a valid question, why don't the official numbers make sense? The math is straight forward, the streets are empty and China is now hiding data.
No one can know for sure one way or the other because China is not transparent, but anecdotal evidence of empty streets in a city that is supposed to have a population of 12 million, that is valid observation that is relevant.
I lived in Taiwan for more than 8 years and the Chinese were very clear that the end justifies the means. They justified lying, deceit, and what we would call fraud because the company made money. I left Taiwan with the lesson burned into me, never take anything the Chinese government says as true without independently verifying it.
