    2. I don’t understand the meaning of the numbers. Did China have 850,000 more deaths than births? Is that what that means?

      Would a % chart be more helpful? Raw-number comparisons between countries with vastly different populations isn’t particularly helpful.

    3. For Russia this is a consequence of the Second World War. A large generation of boomers is dying, and a small generation of zoomers gives birth.

      The peak negative year for Russia was 2021. 2022, although a bad year, is significantly better than 2021 (20% better).

      However, Russia’s population has grown in 2022. Due to the large migration influx.
