I'm a bit confused what this graph is meant to show. The data is easily understood but there are 30+ Chinese provinces, so I'm confused why you're choosing one specific one and comparing it to all of Russia's far east.

Siberia is huge, last I checked. Maybe Rosstat doesn't subdivide that part of Russia. The Chinese province picked would be close to Siberia, relatively.

I'm not wondering why they don't split up Russia's far east. I'm wondering why they don't include Russia's population as a whole versus China's population as a whole.

Heilongjiang (along with Jilin and Liaoning) is in demographic decline far faster than anywhere else in China or most of the world for that matter, owing to stagnation relative to other regions of China following the opening and reform.
