About China :
|
|
China is a cultural region, an ancient
civilization, and, depending on perspective, a national or multinational entity
extending over a large area in East Asia.
In 1949, when major combat ended in the Chinese Civil War, two political
entities emerged having the term "China" in their names:
-
The People's Republic of China (PRC), commonly known as China, has control
over mainland China and the largely self-governing territories of Hong Kong
(since 1997) and Macau (since 1999).
-
The Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as Taiwan, has control over the
islands of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu.
China has one of the world's oldest civilizations
and has the oldest continuous civilization. It has archaeological evidence
dating back over 5,000 years. China had the largest economy for most of the last
two millenia; until the 1850s when it missed the industrial revolution.
Subsequently, imperialism, wars and civil wars damaged the country and its
economy for most of the twentieth century. In the 1970s, economic reforms
transformed the country and made it one of the major economic powers once again.
China is viewed as the source of many major inventions. It has one of the
world's oldest written language systems.
Historically, China's cultural sphere has extended across East Asia as a whole,
with Chinese religion, customs, and writing systems being adopted to varying
degrees by neighbors such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam. The first evidence of
human presence in the region was found at the Zhoukoudian cave and is one of the
first known specimens of Homo erectus, now commonly known as the Peking Man,
estimated to have lived from 300,000 to 780,000 years ago.
