I was just reading the following article on NHK easy, titled 「「春節」の休み たくさんの中国人が日本を旅行」。
In that article, it says:
「中国の政府は、ことしの春節の頃には、今まででいちばん多い90億人が旅行すると考えています」
I even checked the original NHK article, and that also says:
「中国政府は、前後も含め期間中に移動する人は過去最多となる延べ90億人に上るという見通しを発表しています。」
Is it just me or are they saying 9 billion people will be travelling within the 8-day period? Is that even possible? There's not even 9 billion people on the planet!
Am I misunderstanding or have NHK and NHK easy made a really silly mistake?
