OT:Why Aliens dont come here

China had a fertility rate of about 1.8 child per woman in 2000; not enough to double population every fifty years, especially as this number is decreasing. The United States actually have a slightly higher fertility rate (2 children per woman or so), in the upper average of developed countries.

India has been trying to reduce its population growth as well (a bit less than 3 children per woman Last time I heard), but setting up birth control is easier said than done (mainly in rural communities). If you want countries where population is increasing by twofold every thirty or forty years, you should see the figures for poor African countries instead, and definitively not China.

Edit: At Last, I found the compared growth rates for China and the United States. The US is expected to have a growth rate of about 0.9% this year, while China is expected to be around 0.5%/0.6% (it was at about 0.9% in 2001, and slightly above 1% the Last decade).
