Answer 4

Busiest by gross tonnage of shipping?

Busiest by number of boats?

The parameters of your question are not clearly defined.

Now, it's a good bet that it's the Yangtze, based on being so long and running through the most populous ( 1.3 billion? ) country in the world, the number of boats AND total cargo tonnage is probably -probably- the highest.

Answer 6

The Yangtze River or Chang Jiang (simplified Chinese: 长江; traditional Chinese: 長江; pinyin: Cháng Jiāng) is the longest river in Asia and the third-longest in the world, after the Nile in Africa,and the Amazon in South America. The river is about 6,300 km long and flows from its source in Qinghai Province, eastwards into the East China Sea at Shanghai. It has traditionally been considered a dividing line between North and South China, although geographers consider the Qinling-Huai River line to be the official line of geographical division. As the largest river in the region, the Yangtze is historically, culturally, and economically important to China.
