firecracker1989 — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 23:57:23 CST

Other than being a Communist country, China is truly a great country in my opinion. There is a five thousand year old culture and one of the world's most civillized people. The Chinese invented four of the world's greatest inventions: The compass, paper, gun powder, and printing press.

There are 56 ethnic groups in China, but 90% of them are Han Chinese, which makes China a not very diverse nation. China has Two main Rivers, the Yellow River to the north and the Yantze River in the south. The Chinese civilization started in between these two rivers, much like the Fertile Crescent in Mesopotamia.
