Extended information:

The total population of western China is about 381 million, accounting for about 29% of the total population in China. Although the area is quite vast, the population density is relatively sparse. This is due to the poor topographic and climatic conditions in the western region, in which the plain area accounts for 42% and the basin area is less than 11%, and about 48% of the land resources are deserts, Gobi, rocky mountains and alpine areas with an altitude of more than 3111 meters.

And the annual average temperature is low, most provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are below 11 degrees Celsius, and the annual precipitation in nearly half areas is below 211mm, which makes the average population density in the western region below 51 people per square kilometer, far below the national average, and this law is consistent with the Heihe-Tengchong population demarcation theory put forward by Hu Huanyong in those years.
