China, officially called the People's Republic of China or China for short, is one of greatest countries in the world.

China is certainly great in terms of size (fourth) and population (first).

It is the most populous country in the world, and there are more Chinese every day. China is one of only two countries with over a billion people. (India is the other one.) That is certainly a lot of people.

[RonBee]

China, the fourth biggest country, is located in East Asia bordering many countries such as Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Bhutan Russia, Vietnam, Loa, Burma, Nepal, India, North Korea, and Mongolia. Compared to the United States, China is slightly smaller. It is 9,571,300 km2 or 3,695,500 sq mi.

What was your source for the information about China?

The population reached 1,306,313,800 by the year 2005 and it is the only one county in the world that has One Child Policy in an effort to slow down the population growth. ( Microsoft Encarta Premium 2006). China is well known not only because it is a big country by large population but also because it’s thousands years old civilization.

What or who came to power in 1949?

Isn't it true that the Communist Party has in fact (if not in theory) repudiated Communism?

[thedaffodils]

Hi! I am not a teacher. Here's my two cents for your reference.

China, officially called People Republic of China or you say China for short, is one of greatest countries in the world.

People's Republic of China is called China for short.

Comment: China includes many dynasties in its history as well as the current communist regime.

People's Republic of China = China

China =\= People's Republic of China

As a country with many languages and hundreds of ethnic groups, Mandarin is considered as official language and only 55 ethnic groups are officially recognized.

Comment:

1. Mandarin is the nation-wide official language. Tibetan, Mongolian, English, etc. are local official languages in some regions respectively.

2. Chinese includes 56 ethnic groups rather than 55. The majority of population is ethnic Han.

3. As a Chinese, I never heard about there are hundreds of ethnic groups in China.

After coming to power in 1949, The People’s Republic of China was founded by Mao Zedong,

Comment:

As far as I knew, none of official Chinese versions claim that. New China was not only founded by Mao Zedong. He was one of the premier founders.

It would be better if you say "Mao Zedong was the first Chairman of P.R.C".

In the mind of Chinese people, Mao is the hero who liberated Chinese people for capitalism and slavery

Comment:

New China was founded on the base of a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. Capitalism never really entrenched in China.

Shortly after taking office in late 1970s, Deng Xiaoping who is Mao’s successor launched the economic reformation.

Comment: Deng Xiaoping was not Chairman Mao's successor. After Mao, the Chairman of China was Li Xiangnian. Deng was persecuted during the chaos of so-called Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) launched by Mao. Deng never took the position of the Chairman of China.

China has 22 provinces and 5 autonomous zones including Hong Kong and Macao

According to the latest official info. from P.R. C., there're a total of 34 administrative divisions in China; They are 23 provinces, 4 municipalities ( Beijing, Tianjing, Shanghai and Chongqi), 5 autonomous regions (Tibet, Xingjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and Ningxia), and 2 special administer regions (Hong Kong S.A. R. and Macao S. A. R.).


PS: I am not going to argue politics with anyone. You can take my comments with a salt.

[thedaffodils]

In the mind of Chinese people, Mao (is) was the hero who liberated Chinese people (for) from capitalism and slavery[ read my above comment on this] while Deng (is) was the one who saved Chinese people from isolation and poverty. ( Art of Deng Xiaoping’s politics).

China is going to host the Olympic Games which will (be stated) start( or kick off ) on August 8, 2008 although there (is a protest by Tibet ethnic group) are some Tibetans' protests over the freedom, human (right) rights and the Olympic Games. In the early 2008, there was a (snow storm) snowstorm which significantly destroyed (a lot of infrastructure) its infrastructure and made many people live without electricity. Further more, recent earth quake (earthquake) in (Shi Choun) Sichuan (Province) province (destroyed a lot of infrastructure) greatly damaged the local infrastructure again, slowed [ or undermined] the economic growth and (brought the death toll to )took the death toll on (nearly) more than 60,000 people.
