That was actually a mistake on my part, thank you for catching that. It looks like the National Capital Territory of Delhi with a population of 16.8 million would be the better comparison? And that has an even higher density

It's a different definition of metropolitan area, I think. A lot of Beijing's area is extremely sparsely populated, moreso than Delhi's.
