__**CHINA: A DIVERSE COUNTRY OF CULTURES**__
THE BAD NEWS: CHINA IS SUFFERING FROM A WEAKENED ECONOMY AND A LOW PER CAPITA GDP. ($6000) THE GOOD NEWS: CHINA HAS MANY GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES (MT. EVEREST(ON THE BORDER BETWEEN NEPAL AND CHINA), 4TH LARGEST COUNTRY, 14500 KM OF COASTLINE, AND THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA) AND IS A HOTBED OF CULTURES (CHINESE LANGUAGE, MANY DIFFERENT RELIGIONS SUCH AS BUDDHISM, ATHEISM, CONFUSIONISM, AND, DAOISM).

HISTORY: CHINA HAS BEEN A UNLIMITED GOVERNMENT SINCE 221 BC WHEN THE QIN DYNASTY TOOK CONTROL OF WHAT IS NOW CHINA. ON JANUARY 1ST, 1912 THE QIN DYNASTY WAS COLONIZED BY GREAT BRITIAN.THEY FINALLY LEFT IN 1949. THEN ON OCTOBER 1ST, 1949 CHINA BECAME A COMMUNIST STATE. WITH CHINA'S HISTORICAL BACKROUND, I WOULD DEFINITELY VISIT IT. (VISIT)

CULTURE: CHINA IS A HOTBED OF CULTURE INCLUDING MANY DIFFERENT RELIGIONS, 2 OFFICAL LANGUAGES, GREAT HOSPITALITY, GREAT FOOD, AND RECREATION SUCH AS SOCCER AND TABLE TINNIS. **BUT,** THEY HAVE MANY DISEASES SUCH AS SMALLPOX. WHEN THE BRITISH COLONIZED CHINA, THEY BROUGHT OVER WESTERN MEDICINE TO HELP THIS PROBLEMS. WITH THEIR DIVERSE CULTURE, CHINA IS A MUST FOR TRAVELERS. (VISIT)

ECONOMY: WITH A LOW PER CAPITA GDP OF $6000, WE SHOULD HELP CHINA'S ECONOMY BY TEACHING THEM THE SKILLS AND ABILITIES TO DO THE WORK THEMSELVES. IF WE GO OVER AND BUILD HOUSES FOR THEM THAT WOULD ONLY BE SHORT TERM, BUT TEACHING THEM THE SKILLS WOULD KEEP THEM SUPPORTED FOR THE LONG-TERM. CHINA SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT STOP ON YOUR MISSION TRIP.(HELP)

GOVERNMENT: CHINA HAS A COMMUNIST (UNLIMITED) GOVERNMENT, WHICH MEANS THAT THE CITIZENS HAVE VERY LIMITED RIGHTS. THE PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, AND STATE COUNCIL ARE ELECTED BY THE NATIONAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS. EACH TERM LASTS 5 YEARS. SINCE THE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY RIGHTS, WE NEED TO HELP CHINA GET ITS RIGHTS BACK. (HELP)

GEOGRAPHY: CHINA'S CAPITAL CITY IS BEIJING AND IS LOCATED IN NORTH-EASTERN CHINA. ON THE BORDER OF CHINA AND NEPAL IS MT. EVEREST, THE TALLEST POINT ON THE EARTH. CHINA ALSO FEATURES THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA, AND 14500 KM OF COASTLINE. THE URBAN PERCENTAGE IS 43% AND IS THE 4TH LARGEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET BEHIND THE U.S, CANADA, AND RUSSIA. WITH ALL THESE GEOGRAPHY FEATURES, CHINA IS A DEFINITE YES ON YOUR TRAVEL PLANS.

MY CONCLUSION: CHINA IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT, **BUT** WOULD NOT BE A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE. WE SHOULD HELP CHINA WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ECONOMY BY FORMING GOVERNMENT PARTIES THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT. WE SHOULD ALSO TEACH THEM VALUBLE SKILLS TO HELP BOOST THE ECONOMY AND CREATE A HIGHER GDP. CHINA WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT, BUT NOT TO LIVE. CHINA IS A DIVERSE COUNTRY THAT SHOULD BE VISITED AND HELPED, AND CHINA WOULD BE A GREAT STOP ON YOUR TRAVELS AND MISSION TRIPS. WITH CHINA'S GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMY, THEY SHOULD BE HELPED. WITH CHINA'S CULTURE, GEOGRAPHY, AND HISTORY, THEY SHOULD BE VISITED.
