The document provides an overview of China, its history, culture, and geopolitics. It discusses how China has historically been an independent and isolationist world power for over 4000 years, but faced a period of weakness from 1750-1950 after European powers colonized parts of China. It outlines China's vast territory and diverse climates/landscapes from east to west. The document also examines China's ethnic groups and tensions in places like Tibet and Xinjiang.

on fire Monday in a remote western town to protest
Chinese policies, the fourth monk from Kirti

19. China Inner Mongolia party chief seeks to
soothe anger over herder death
May 30, 2011 THE top political leader of China's vast
northern region of Inner Mongolia had a meeting with
local students in a bid to placate public anger, state
media reported, after the hit-and-run death of a
herder sparked six days of protests by ethnic
Mongolians.

20. China's grip on
Xinjiang Muslims
The young men studying at the Islam
College in Urumqi, near China's
western border, sit ramrod straight
listening intently to their teacher.
Most hope one day to become imams
in the many mosques of the Muslim-
dominated Chinese region of Xinjiang.
…China's war on terror is
concentrated on Xinjiang. The
province borders eight separate
countries. Foreign fighters, including
members of the Taliban, have been
captured here.
…Northern Xinjiang is rich and fertile,
and it has oil. But Uighurs enjoy little
of its riches, especially since China
has flooded the province with Han
Chinese. In 1950 Uighurs were 94%
of the population - they are now less
than half.

215. China takes place on world stage
As China gets richer and stronger, the world is
coming to share its belief that it merits
recognition and respect as a great power.
Through a combination of economic
dynamism, skillful diplomacy and understated
threat, it is already regaining much of its old
imperial supremacy across Asia.
Filling the void left by the former Soviet
Union, it has also emerged as the likeliest
challenger to the United States as a global
superpower.

228. Paying the price for China's growth
The sheer scale of China's economic transformation
is matched only by the size of the new challenges
and dangers it has created. None is bigger than the
threat to the environment.
Feeding a fifth of the world's people on 7% of its
arable land was never easy - and that land is now
shrinking at a rate of 1m hectares a year.
China's Wealth Gap
China's rapid economic progress has
transformed its cities and coastal areas. But life
for many millions of Chinese in the country's
vast, rural hinterland is in some ways the same
as it always was….
China's middle class revolution
After one of the fastest periods of economic growth in
history, China is set to reclaim its place as one of the
world's great powers.
And the communist government, which once despised
such displays of wealth, is counting on a new middle class
to help it succeed.
