what factors influence the population distribution in Asia?

Population distribution is nothing more than people and where they live.

People live where they can herd, farm, or work to make a living.

Location, near coastal regions or inland.

Relief, near mountains, in valleys or on flat floodplains.

Urban/rural.

Population is usually the most dense for coastal regions, think Shanghai, Beijing. Floodplains, think cities along the Yangtze river in China, and the Chao Phraya river in Indo-China. People also tend to live in urban areas, closer to the cities where there are more job opportunities.

Basic resources

water, soil, weather and natural resources. most of the cites are on the river banks as a result.

Distribution of a few condoms might help curtail the surplus.
