China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.
An unconventional documentary driven by music and video displays the intriguing, surprising, and beautiful aspects of contemporary China through an examination of Her contrasts.

If you have an interest in traveling, China, documentaries, or simply interesting and visually compelling stories you should definitely watch this.

Video: "Reality" is always an inspiration for Chinese artists. However, it is a different from the trend of using painting as a tool to demonstrate their idealism in the past. Artists like Wang Xingwei, Wang Yin, Qiu Zhijei, Liu Wei, Zheng Guogu, Xu Zhen, Zhu Yu, Wei Jia, Chen Ke, Hao Ling, and Xu Huangling, began the ration and spiritual pursuits based on reality towards their personal perspective on media and languages against surrounding environment. http://www.christies.com/auctions/asian-and-western-20th-century-and-contemporary-art-shanghai-april-2014#overview-section

Dr. Rong He of the Institute of Sociology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences discussed the survey and highlighted some of its most interesting findings, including the relationship between formal and informal religious associations, patterns of multiple belonging, and practices associated with Chinese traditional religions and the five officially recognized religious communities (Buddhism, Daoism, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Islam). The survey demonstrates the difficulty of applying religious categories developed...
Communist China claims to be a democracy, but a democracy of a very different (and, it claims, better) kind than Western liberal democracies. Yet Communist China itself is rapidly giving up Marx and Engels in favor of its homegrown philosopher Confucius. Vietnam is similarly de-emphasizing Marx and Engels in favor of revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh. China's resurgent Confucianism in many ways provides a philosophical basis for China's illiberal approach to non-representative, technocratic "democracy."

Shanghai - China Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Shanghai - China Travel Guide http://goo.gl/Cl0qNG Shanghai is the future all other Chinese cities aspire to reach. Forget creaking temples and dusty old palaces (there are plenty of them elsewhere); Shanghai is where people come to see modern China at its glimmering best. This fast-paced city of towering skyscrapers is, in fact, not without its own significant history. Its glory days of the 1930s helped build Shanghai's reputation as a City of Sin. But to pause for too long at the city's past would be missing the point: Shanghai is all about the future face of the world's future super power, and coming here is to witness what makes the business end of China tick. Perhaps best visited at...
