About

China

China (also known as the People’s Republic of China) is situated in eastern Asia, bound in the east only by the Pacific Ocean. It is the third-largest country in the world, behind only Canada and Russia, with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, or one-fifteenth of the world’s land mass.

China has one of the world's oldest cultures and civilizations, and has contributed to the invention of paper, printing, gunpowder, and compass orientation. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Chinese suffered through several decades of internal turbulence, civil war, foreign interference, and Japanese invasion until a communist state, the People’s Republic of China, was established on October 1, 1949.
