That’s why China needs birth control policy!

Incredible images of China show how the people endure queues, traffic and other problems on a level unique to the most populous country in the world.

在中国拍摄的一组不可思议的照片向世界人民展示了在中国这样一个人口众多的国家，人们是如何忍受排长队、交通拥堵等由独特国情所造成的问题。

With 1.3billion people, many of the cities are overrun during busy periods, with images revealing the true extent of the growing population, including gridlocked roads packed with static cars queued for miles on end.

中国有13亿人口，很多城市在高峰期人流暴增，这些照片揭露了人口增长的真实程度，包括绵延数英里静止的车队堵塞了整条道路。

The images – taken over the last 16 years – also show a beach with people packed so closely that not a grain of sand is visible as far as they eye can see as citizens dash to the water with rubber rings around them.

这些照片是过去16年间拍摄的-其中包括一张挤得水泄不通的沙滩照片，照片中人们戴着游泳圈冲向水中。

Thousands of children, who sit the same exams all over the country at the same time, are seen densely packed together on uniform desks in a vast hall.

数千名学生同一时间参加同一门考试，在一间硕大的礼堂中密密麻麻挤满了一模一样的课桌。

This is despite the one-child policy China adopted in the 1970s that it claims has prevented 400million births, but demographers have called the claim into question.

而这已经是中国在上世纪70年代实施计划生育政策后的状况，有人称这项政策减少了4亿人口，然而人口学家对此表示怀疑。

Other images show how homes are tightly packed into what look like small uniform cells in sprawling tower blocks, essential to house the vast population.

还有照片展示了高密度建造的房屋，在不规则延伸的大片摩天大厦中，它们像一模一样的牢房。这对于容纳大规模人口是至关重要的。
