    The country's urban population is expected to grow to 750m by 2020, according to the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operatfon Forum.The government has set itself a goal of keeping the total population below 1.37bn until 2010. China has one of the lowest population growth rates in the world, with the total fertility rate falling to 1.8 in 2007.The declining growth rate is the result of stringent-and, it must be conceded, successful- population control measures implemented by the state.
