Did or does China have an over population problem? They are only 83rd in the world density wise, yet the third largest land area. What was Mao or Deng's reason for population control?
What about Europe? It has similar land area to China, and almost 1 billion people. Do they need population control?
How much population is too much?
Obviously this is in light of China lifting the one child policy.

Still though, not all of Europe is arable. Much of Scandinavia, and Russia is too cold. Spain is pretty arid, and there are mountains throughout. Take Greece for example. It is very craggy, very rocky. You cannot plant everywhere. Also I will say more of China has a longer growing season than more of Europe.
The US is close to land area of both Europe and China, and have even less people.

Their density is frankly astounding in their cities.

Fine with me. That just means more Chinese to buy real estate here.

It's less about land area than productivity. When China instituted its one-child policy it was dirt poor with tens of millions on the brink of starvation. Now it's much richer and better able to provide for its population. Europe can easily feed its citizens, and the population is no growing except through immigration.
How much is too much? We probably aren't anywhere near the maximum carrying capacity of an Earth run by technologically advanced humans. But we value elbow room and pristine natural spaces. So in terms of quality of life, it's hard to see how any further increase is desirable.
