China (simplified Chinese: 中国; traditional Chinese: 中國; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōngguó (help·info); Tongyong Pinyin: Jhongguó; Wade-Giles: Chung¹kuo²) 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:
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. It also has one of the world's oldest written language systems, and is viewed as the source of many major inventions. China was the largest and most advanced economy for much of recorded history. 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 550,000 years ago.

GNU Free Documentation License Is China's mandatory abortion policy consistent with or antithetical to its official atheism? Q. Chinese parents are permitted only one child, and they face mandatory abortion if a second child is conceived. Does its official atheism (viewing religion as the opiate of the people) have any bearing on China's denial of the parents' reproductive rights and the the right to life of the unborn child? Asked by Bruce - Thu Aug 27 12:39:15 2009 - - 18 Answers - 1 Comments A. Yes, it's very consistent with its official atheism, as is their persecution of practitioners of various faiths, imprisoning and sentencing to labor camps those who belong to faiths that do not support their communist regime. Here in the US, the women who are forced to have an abortion are given political asylum. There are still debates raging about whether their husbands should be extended the same courtesy. A very recent case is in the news about this. Both parents should gain political asylum, because children need both their father and their mother. For those who say that forced abortion doesn't happen in China, I suggest that they see this story: China keeps its citizens from knowing much of what actually goes on.

Q. Did you guys see the Olympics last year? McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Nike stores on the street? How the hell is China still a communist country? It's capitalism . Asked by In Defense of Marxism - Sat Jun 6 20:51:31 2009 - - 19 Answers - 1 Comments A. It's not. Today, Mao s China is one of the main pillars supporting world capitalism. How do we assess this evolution? First of all, the Maoist regime established in 1949 had nothing to do with genuine socialism. While it retained the title of Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the social and political content of the movement fundamentally changed after the defeat of the Chinese working class in the 1925-27 revolution. Rather than some kind of deformed workers state, it would more accurate to characterise Mao s China from the outset as a deformed bourgeois state. The anti-working class character of the regime has been apparent ever since 1949, as the Beijing bureaucracy suppressed any independent role of the workers.

China refers to a one of the world's oldest civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 6,000 years. Due to the stalemate of the last Chinese Civil War following World War II, China currently looks like two separate countries: the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Republic of China (ROC). The PRC administers and governs mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, while the ROC administers and governs Taiwan and its surrounding islands. Each government used to claim that it was the only official government of China. However, PRC is nowadays widely accepted in the world as the only offical government.
