From the article Zhanggong district is Ganzhou’s administrative center and home to about 460,000 people. “There are at least 5,000 districts this size or bigger,” said Qiang Xiao Am I missing something here? Do districts in China overlap? The population in China is currently standing at around 1.357 billion [0] according to World Bank, United States Census Bureau. Quick math puts 5,000 * 460,000 at 2.3 billion. The list of districts in China [1] is quite long. And when sorting for 2010 population there are quite a lot above 500,000 but it certainly can't be 5,000. Must be a misquote.
