Looks like the same user. I hope someone with Chinese language skills
can reach out to them, because this has all the makings of a
well-meaning individual establishing dubious de facto mapping practices
on their own for a single (huge) country.

china_population=* is a way to fix a rendering problem without having to
get in touch with Carto or working with others at all. Convenient, but
ultimately harmful to the global database. Filling population=* with
values designed to trigger render behaviour is not in line with OSM's
guidelines.
