“Most” would imply more than half which is not true of China or India.

“Most people are Asian,” would be true.

Me and my wife (both Caucasians) were expecting a baby. I called my brother with the news. His reply?

Brother: "Don't be surprised if the baby is Chinese."

Me: ...?

Brother: "Well, 25% of all babies are Chinese, bro"

Despite being true

Um, no? Even assuming you mean Chinese ethnicity as opposed to residency, “most” implies majority, not plurality.

This thing that I totally made up, and is not true, sounds weird 🤔

The whole concept of a majority is a bit weird. So, let's say you have a bunch of groups that are about 0-1% of the total, but one group is 2%. That makes it the largest group, but it isn't really what people mean when they talk about majority. What if the largest group was 40% of the total, and all other groups are much smaller than that. Is that still a majority, even if it's still less than half of the whole? If it's over 50%, then it's pretty clear we're talking about a majority.

Same thing with minorities. What if the smallest group takes 20% of the whole pie? That's not an insignificant group, but it's still technically a minority since the other groups are larger than that.

It's not true.

What's the definition of "most?" 90%? 80%?

If one looks at it, PRC+ROC's population is only around 1.4 billion, which is only around 16.8%

If one adds in chinese diaspora, which is 60-70 million, that is still less than 18% of the world's population

I think most people are Indian now, which sounds fine.
