This article introduces the trends in population development in China and Russia, contributing the causes behind these trends to the influence of distinct cultures.

Further reasons for the decrease in Russia's population stem from religious conflicts, reduction in traditional values in the process of urbanization, and the influence of developed countries, etc.
