The Hu Huanyong Line: 94% of Chinese Population Live East of this Line
•
The Heihe–Tengchong Line, also called the Aihui-Tengchong Line (and internationally as the Hu line) is an imaginary line that divides the area of China into 2 roughly equal parts. It stretches from the city of Heihe to Tengchong County, diagonally across China.
•
This imaginary line divides the territory of China as follows (going by 1935 statistics):
-West of the line: 64% of the area, but only 4% of the population (1935)
-East of the line: 36% of -the area, but 96% of the population (1935)
Despite an epic urban migration, 2002 and 2015 statistics remain nearly identical vis-à-vis the line:
-West of the line: 57% of the area, but only 6% of the population (2015)
-East of the line: 43% of the area, but 94% of the population (2015)
