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.

Taiwan (i/ˌtaɪˈwɑːn/; Chinese: 臺灣 or 台灣; see below), officially the Republic of China (ROC; Chinese: 中華民國; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó), is a sovereign state in East Asia. The Republic of China, originally based in mainland China, now governs the island of Taiwan, which constitutes more than 99% of its territory, as well as Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other minor islands, following its loss of the mainland China territory in 1949 in the Chinese Civil War. This remaining area is also constitutionally called the "Free area of the Republic of China" which is not ruled by the Communist Party of China in Beijing.
Neighboring states include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west (mainland China), Japan to the east and northeast, and the Philippines to the south. Taiwan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world with a population density of 649 people per km2 in October 2015.Taipei is the seat of the central government, and together with the surrounding cities of New Taipei and Keelung forms the largest metropolitan area on the island.
The Dalai Lama /ˈdɑːlaɪ ˈlɑːmə/ is a monk of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, the newest of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism founded by Je Tsongkhapa. The 14th and current Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso.
The Dalai Lama is considered to be the successor in a line of tulkus who are believed to be incarnations of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, called Chenrezig in Tibetan. The name is a combination of the Mongolic word dalai meaning "ocean" (being the translation of the Tibetan name, 'Gyatso') and the Tibetan word བླ་མ་ (bla-ma) meaning "guru, teacher, mentor". The Tibetan word "lama" corresponds to the better known Sanskrit word "guru".
From 1642 until the 1950s (except for 1705 to 1750), the Dalai Lamas or their regents headed the Tibetan government or Ganden Phodrang which governed all or most of the Tibetan plateau from Lhasa with varying degrees of autonomy, up to complete sovereignty. This government also enjoyed the patronage and protection of firstly Mongol kings of the Khoshut and Dzungar Khanates (1642–1720) and then of the emperors of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty (1720–1912).

The People's Republic vs. the Republic of China... or Taiwan. Or Chinese Taipei... and the stupidity of "one China" policy
This video is not meant to offend the ordinary Chinese people, it shows what life is like for millions, the haves and the have not's. the poor and the greedy corrupt. Money takes first preference in China. labor and life are cheap. the video's tell the real story of modern China. and it continues that way.
64 years ago today, 3 PM Beijing Time, the people's leader Chairman Mao proclaimed: "Fellow countrymen! The People's Republic of China and the Central People's Government are hereby established!" The ground quaked under the jubilation of the 300,000 Beijing residents that flocked to celebrate this momentous chapter of history. The Chinese people, accounting for a quarter of the world's population was lifted from the yoke of feudalism and imperialism. They have stood up and become masters of their own destiny—a bolster of courage for the oppressed peoples and nations of the world.

Don't forget! Crash Course posters and t-shirts at http://store.dftba.com/collections/crashcourse In which John Green teaches you about China's Revolutions. While the rest of the world was off having a couple of World Wars, China was busily uprooting the dynastic system that had ruled there for millennia. Most revolutions have some degree of tumult associated with them, but China's 20th century revolutions were REALLY disruptive. In 1911 and 1912, Chinese nationalists brought 3000 years of dynastic rule to an end. China plunged into chaos as warlords staked out regions of the country for themselves. The nationalists and communists joined forces briefly to bring the nation back together under the Chinese Republic, and then they quickly split and started fighting the Chinese Civil War. The ...
The One China Policy is the rather tenuous agreement between Taiwan, the Republic of China, and Mainland China, the People's Republic of China, that there is only one China. The problem is, they both claim to be that one China. That's made China's position on the UN Security Council a bit awkward. Taiwan used to be the China on the Security Council but in the 70's, after the Cold War cooled a bit, China took the place as China. Confused? Yeah, me too.

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.

The People's Republic of China claims the island of Taiwan to be part its territory under its constitution, and therefore includes Taiwan Province in its administrative division.The PRC has never gained control of Taiwan: the Taiwan Area, including all of Taiwan Province, is currently administered by the government of the Republic of China .Because the PRC holds the view that it has succeeded the ROC entirely since 1 October 1949, it regards all boundary changes to Taiwan Province made by the ROC after that date to be illegitimate.As a result, maps published by the PRC show Taiwan Province in accordance with its pre-1949 boundaries, with Taipei shown as the capital of Taiwan Province, rather than a directly-administered municipality. ---Image-Copyright-and-Permission--- About the author(s...

Robert Barnett gives an overview of one of the most contentious issues in Asia: the conflict between the government of the People’s Republic of China and Tibetans who want either independence or a greater degree of autonomy for Tibet within China. He presents how each side understands this conflict, each with its divergent forms of diplomacy, interpretations of history, and religious perspectives. He helps to interpret the various voices in the discussion — those of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile, of the Chinese government, of self-immolators, and others — and gives his perspective on the prospects of resolution.
