> Even the island of Hainan, China's least populous province, is equal in population size to the Eastern European nation of Belarus.

The least populous province is Tibet.

Now, sure it is technically not a province but an "autonomous region", but it's province-level and the article does not make distinctions. The article gets it right, though, when comparing Tibet to Uruguay, which has indeed a much smaller population than Belarus.
