All About China
The most populated country in the world with 1.3 billion people (2016) is
China, found on the continent of Asia, situated on its southeast coast. It is
the fourth largest in size with only Russia, Canada and the United States
being larger. It is 3.6 million square miles and occupies one-fourteenth the
land area of Earth stretching over 3,000 miles east to west as well as
north to south.
China borders many countries. Its border to the north in Mongolia; the
northwest with Kazakhstan; the west with Kyrgyzstan and others; the
southwest with Nepal and India; the south with Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam,
and others; and to its east is the China Sea and Taiwan, North and
South Korea, and Japan. China's terrain includes mountains, high
plateaus, sandy deserts, and dense forests.
Its official name is the People's Republic of China and the country is
separated into 33 administrative units and not states like the United Sates.
The capital of China is Beijing and it is the economic, cultural, and
communications center of the country, with Shanghai is the center of
industry, and the leading commercial center and port is Hong Kong.
It is a communist country meaning it is a one-party state and people do
not vote in elections. There are no political parties and the country is ruled
be a very powerful central government. In addition, citizens have less
economic and personal freedoms when compared with the United States. For
example, in China a citizen may not visit certain web sites on the Internet,
protest in public, or start a business as easily as citizens in America.
There is a large workforce in China and the government is beginning to
lift some restrictions due to this fact and the availability lots of natural
resources can be found in the country. Much of the work in China relies on
many of the products exported to other countries in the world.
China was once ruled by a series of emperors, supreme leaders of a
country who have control over a nation and undisputed power. The last
emperor was overthrown in 1912 and China became a republic, though
communism began following a civil war in 1949. Before the 1900s, its
history was divided into dynasties, which are periods of time when an
emperor or rulers of the same family are the leaders of a country. There
has been a total of 13 dynasties. The first was the Xia Dynasty beginning
in 2070 BC and lasting 470 years.
China is home to many landmarks and attractions including the Giant
Panda, Chinese alligator, snow leopard, and red panda. The Great Pandas
are deeply loved by the Chinese and are a Natural Treasure. Only 2,000
of the endangered animals are alive in the world. Its two main rivers are
the 3rd and 4th longest in the world-the Yangtze at 3,915 miles and the
Yellow at 3,395 miles. In addition, the tallest mountain in the
world, Mount Everest, is located on the border of Nepal and China.
Other attractions include the Great Wall of China, built to prevent
invasions, it is 3,100 miles long and has been standing for over 2,300
years. The Terracotta Army includes life-sized models representing the
army that united China and was underground for 2,000 years until it
was discovered in 1974.
Finally, with its long history and huge population, there is much more to
learn and explore about China, including its alphabet of 50,000 characters
and its biggest celebration, Chinese New Year, where everyone turns one
year older on the same day each year in January. China's influence on the
world will continue for many centuries and longer.
