China (traditional Chinese: 中 國; simplified Chinese: 中 国; Tongyong Pinyin: Jhongguó; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōngguó (help·info); Wade-Giles (Mandarin): 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.

The last Chinese Civil War (with major combat ending in 1949) has resulted in two political entities:

China has one of the world's oldest and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system, and is viewed as the source of many major inventions. 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 approximately from 300,000 to 550,000 years ago.

What are the implications of China devaluing its currency?
Q. Why is America getting so upset about the possibility of China devaluing its currency? Is it really that bad? Surely it will help countries that import goods from China?

A. By making their money cheaper it makes their goods cheaper. So, yes, people buy more from them cheaper. But that moves money to China, it drains money from the United States that because they are making OUR goods MORE expensive they don't buy from us. Exchange rates if are allowed to operate in a free market, float normally, their money would increase value to balance the unfair, unequal trade balance, making our goods cheaper and they would buy more from us. But China is controlling their money value by manipulation to drain money from other countries.

How is China for a lone female traveler?
Q. If there is a single female tourist in China who doesn't speak Chinese except the basic greetings, what difficulties would she encounter? Is it safe for a female to travel alone? Are Asian tourists treated differently from Westerners? Please elaborate. Thank you!

A. If you're the one going to China, yes, I read lots of books/traveling books, etc before my trip to China (but I'm not a woman, as you can see by the pic) but my point is that all those books say it is safe for women, western woman in particular, to travel in China.Obviously like any other traveler, you have to be careful, be informed, be aware about your surroundings, use common sense. Good luck (if you're going), I can't wait to go!

China is a cultural region and ancient civilization in East Asia. 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.
