A quick glimpse of China
Mahabubur Rahman Miraj: Stretching
3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) from east to west and 3,400 miles (5,500
kilometers) from north to south, China is a large country with widely varying
landscapes. Stretching 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) from east to west and
3,400 miles (5,500 kilometers) from north to south, China is a large country
with widely varying landscapes. Its territory includes mountains, high
plateaus, sandy deserts, and dense forests. One-third of China's land area is
made up of mountains. The tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest, sits on the
border between China and Nepal. China has thousands of rivers. The Yangtze and
the Yellow Rivers are the most important. At 3,915 miles (6,300 kilometers)
long, the Yangtze is the world's third-largest river.
PEOPLE & CULTURE
With a population of 1.3 billion, China has more people than any
other country on Earth. Arts and crafts have a long history in China. Thousands
of years ago the Chinese were some of the first people to use silk, jade,
bronze, wood, and paper to make art. The artistic writing called calligraphy
was invented in China. Much of China's modern beliefs and philosophies are
based on the teachings of a government official who lived nearly 3,000 years
ago. Kongfuzi, also known as Confucius, taught people the value of such things
as morality, kindness, and education.
NATURE
China's diverse habitats are home to hundreds of species of
animals and plants. More than 3,800 species of fish and hundreds of amphibians
and reptile species live in the rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. China's
forest wildlife is threatened by logging and clear-cutting (clearing the land
of all trees) for farmland. Expanding deserts in the north also shrink animal
habitats. The Chinese government has created more than 1,200 reserves to
protect plant and animal species. The giant panda lives in the misty mountains
of southwest China and nowhere else on Earth. They eat bamboo and usually live
near stands of the woody evergreen plant. Pandas have been hunted and only
about 1,600 remain in the wild.
GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY
China is an authoritarian state ruled by a very powerful central
government. A huge workforce and lots of natural resources have driven economic
change. This has forced the communist government to permit more economic and
personal freedoms, but it has come at a huge cost to the environment. Many
experts predict that the 21st century will be the "Chinese century."
Whether or not that proves to be true, there is no doubt that what happens in
China will affect many other nations.
