id="mod_47724997">Fun Facts About China Fun Facts About China The Chinese New Year is probably the biggest celebration in the world lasting for fifteen days and comprising more than one and a half billion people internationally. The Great Wall of China of 2,300 years old and stretches for 21,196 kilometers. It is the oldest relic on earth. China is roughly same size as the America, but whereas the USA has four different time zones, China only has one. The giant panda which lives in the remote mountains of China is a type of bear. They are in danger of becoming extinct with only 1,900 at the last count. The Temple of Heaven in Beijing was buillt in the 15th century and is a World Heritage Site. | Source China 101 China is an enomous country with many different climate zones, different ethnic people, different languages, and different traditions depending on the particular geographical area. China has had more than 3000 years of history and is responsible for [ ]. These include the clock, tea, iron and steel smelting, print and paper making, the compass, gunpowder, porcelain, alcohol, silk, kites, circadian rhythms in humans, the discovery and documentation of various diseases like diabetes and leprosy, Chen's theorem, and many more. It is, therefore, important to know a little bit more about China than the fact that it is a communist state. The Great Wall of C[ ][ ], "The army is well trained and equipped and is considered to be one of the strongest in the world, although its equipment is considered to be behind the US by about 20 years." According to Business Insider, should America ever go to war with China, "[ ] whereas China's entire military would focus on defending its borders and few interests in the Pacific." Technologically, China is rapidly catching up with the United States as a result of investing more money into developing military equipment. Tang Changhong, a member of the communist party, noted that previously China copied other countries in their technology, but now as a result of greater investment in research and development</a>, China is focusing on its own designs. [ ], and thereafter, they will probably be the most advanced military in the world - on a third of the budget that America uses. BBC Documentary of the Chinese Army Architecture in China During ancient times, Chinese used wood as a building material. While stone is used, the Forbidden City (a palace with 9,000 rooms) has a framework of timber. As China is very old, it has used many different materials for its structures. Rammed earth and stonework are common. Today concrete is the norm. Hong Kong, rented by the British Empire for a century and now reverted to China, has more of the world's tallest buildings than any other nation on earth. Modern Chinese architecture boasts some of the most advanced and spectacular architecture in the world. As a result of pollution caused by intense manufacturing, the air in China degraded to such an extent in some places that it was becoming a major health threat. Consequently, many of the buildings have been greening projects with trees and other greenery lacing walls, the roof and balconies. The Jinmao Tower in Shanghai has a glass walkway on its 88th floor. It takes half an hour to walk and is $58 to tourists. Glass walkways are a specialty of China, and this one is 340 meters (1,115 feet) above ground level. The Shanghai Tower, the winner of Tien-yow Jeme Civil Engineering Prize in 2018, is the tallest building currently in China. It is unusual in that it gives the appearance of twisting around. It was designed by an American firm (Gensler) and has 128 floors. While most countries in the world have some spectacular buildings, China, in my opinion, is paradise for any architectural geek. [ ], the enormity and artistic license permitted and encouraged can only be attested to by viewing the diversity of different styles. Underwater Quarry Hotel in Shanghai Public Transport in China China has the world's longest bullet train routes (18,000 miles) in the world. While not as fast as Japan's bullet trains, they're not doing too badly at 217 mph. Virtually all the [ ], so citizens can reach other cities with ease. It also makes life easier for tourish. One of the arguments I constantly hear against bullet trains being implemented in the USA is that the USA is so big. Yet China has managed to have the largest network of bullet trains in the world. Bullet Trains in China The Population of China China has a population of 1.4 billion, about eighteen percent of the world's people. There are several different ethnic groups in China, of which the largest group is the Han. They comprise about 92% of the population. The other eight percent (about 108 million) comprises 55 different groups including the Zhuang which has about 16 million members. Next in line are the the Hui, the Manchu, Uyghur, the Miao, the Yi,and the Tujia. They average about ten million each. Then close to about five million people in each group are the Tibetans and the Mongols, and finally the Dong, the Buyei, the Yao, the Bai, the Korean, the Hani , the Li the , Kazakh, and Dai with about one or two million each. Eight different languages are spoken, each of which has hundreds of different dialects. Mandarin is the world's most spoken language. China's landmass is almost as big as the USA.China geographically. The Geography of China China covers nearly twenty percent of Asia. It is bordered by India, Pakistan, Nepal, Mongolia, Vietnam, Russia, Burma, and North Korea. This article gives some geographical information about the country. The land area of China is spread over 3.7 million square miles, much of it covered with mountains. It has an eleven thousand mile coastline alongside the Pacific Ocean and has deserts, rivers, and grasslands. There are two islands associated with China and they are Taiwan and Hainan. Taiwan has a population of/ about twenty three million people and has separated itself politically from the People's Republic of China. Hainan is smaller than Taiwan, has a tropical climate and is known as the Oriental Hawaii. China has an inland sea called the Bohai Sea. It covers an area of about 300,000 square miles and there are approximately one hundred cities on its coastal areas. Because also borders the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea, it has the largest fishing resources in the world. Most of its fish are caught in the East China Sea. The major rivers in China are the Yangtze River which is 3,700 miles long and its waters are used for both watering crops and for hydroelectric power. The Yellow River is 3,500 miles long and is often responsible for floods during monsoon time. Other names for the Yellow River are the Huanghe River and the Mother River of China. The Pearl River links Hong Kong with the South China Sea. The largest mountain ranges in China are the Himalayas, the Yellow Mountains, and the Limestone Mountains of Guilin. The Himalayas are the highest mountains on earth and include Mount Everest which is the highest peak on earth. The Yellow Mountains, in the Anhui Province, is known for its granite peaks. The Limestone Mountain range is known for its limestone! Thirty percent of China's landmass is covered by deserts. The Gobi Desert is about one thousand miles long and six hundred miles wide. It is growing and is the third largest desert in the world. Beijing is close to the Gobi Desert and is [http://www.ajaxtime.com/?s=increasingly increasingly] affected by the winds of the desert storms. Included in China's vast array of different topography are forests and glaciers. Forests cover an additional eighteen percent of China's landmass. China is currently working on projects to increase this to twenty percent. Many of these forests are situated in the north eastern area of China. The Qinghai-Tiber Plateau in the north western region of China's many glaciers. Scientists often visit this area because it is an area where global warming can be measured. Like many large countries, it has many different climate zones. These include the tropical island of Hainan which has no winter and the far north of Heilongjiang Province which has no summer! The monsoon climate covers the area alongside the Pacific coastline while the alpine climate covers the Himalayan Mountain Range. The Gobi Desert is very cold at night and extremely hot during the day. Chinese economy is only now growing at 5% per year... The Economy of China The Chinese Communist Party is responsible for the economic model of China. An economic system is defined as a system of production and distribution. Currently, China has introduced aspects of capitalism. However, rather than members of the public deciding what they want to produce or sell, the Communist Party tells people who apply to them to own and run a business what the country needs or what products have a high demand. This means that China does not produce products that are not in demand, and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html Tour Quế Lâm] it also means that it uses resources in a way that does not lead to waste. That said, the pollution caused by denim production, viscose (rayon), and other fashion items had led to entire cities being so polluted that people have had to move elsewhere. Currently, outside of the European Union, the Chinese economy is the largest in the world with the US being third. There is some argument about this, as it depends on what figures are used. In the link provided, China is placed first, the European Union second, and the United States third. To quote, "In 2018, [ ] for the fourth year in a row. It produced $25.3 trillion in economic output according to estimates by the International Monetary Fund. It contributed 19% of the world's total gross domestic product of $135.2 trillion."

China To Launch Mars Probe In Space Race With US

2020-12-31T14:46:31Z

GeorgiannaDunham:

China's Tianwen-1 spacecraft is expected to launch for Mars aboard a Long March 5 rocket China aims to launch a rover to Mars on Thursday on a journey coinciding with a similar US mission as the powers take their rivalry into deep space. The two countries are taking advantage of a period when Earth and Mars are closest to send their probes, with China's mission due to lift off by Saturday and the US spacecraft on July 30. It will be a crowded field. The United Arab Emirates launched a probe on Monday that will orbit Mars once it reaches the Red Planet. But the race to watch is between the United States and China, which has worked furiously to try and match Washington's supremacy in space. The Chinese mission has been named Tianwen-1 ("Questions to Heaven") in a nod to a classical poem that has verses about the cosmos. It is expected to launch on a Long March 5 -- China's biggest space rocket -- from the southern island of Hainan on Thursday, depending on the weather. Tianwen-1 is expected to arrive in February 2021 after a seven-month, 55[http://ccmixter.org/api/query?datasource=uploads&search_type=all&sort=rank&search=-million-kilometre&lic=by,sa,s,splus,pd,zero -million-kilometre] (34-million-mile) voyage. The mission includes a Mars orbiter, a lander and a rover that will study the planet's soil. "As a first try for China, I don't expect it to do anything significant beyond what the US has already done," said Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The United States has already sent four rovers to Mars since the late 1990s. The next one, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Perseverance, is an SUV-sized vehicle that will look for signs of ancient microbial life, and gather rock and soil samples with the goal of bringing them back to Earth on another mission in 2031. The Chinese mission is similar to NASA's Viking missions in 1975-1976, in that it has both an orbiter and a lander, McDowell said. Tianwen-1 is "broadly comparable to Viking in its scope and ambition," he added. - Catching up - After watching the United States and the Soviet Union lead the way during the Cold War, China has poured billions of dollars into its military-led space programme. China heads to Mars "China joining (the Mars race) will change the situation dominated by the US for half a century," said Chen Lan, an independent analyst at GoTaikonauts.com, which specialises in China's space programme. China has made huge strides in the past decade, sending a human into space in 2003. The Asian powerhouse has laid the groundwork to assemble a space station by 2022 and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] gain a permanent foothold in Earth orbit. China has already sent two rovers to the Moon. With the second, China became the first country to make a successful soft landing on the far side. The Moon missions gave China experience in operating spacecraft beyond Earth orbit, but Mars is another story. The much greater distance means "a bigger light travel time, so you have to do things more slowly as the radio signal round trip time is large," said McDowell. It also means "you need a more sensitive ground station on Earth because the signals will be much fainter," he added, noting that there is a greater risk of failure. China has upgraded its monitoring stations in the far-western Xinjiang region and northeastern Heilongjiang province to meet the Mars mission requirements, state news agency Xinhua reported last week. The majority of the dozens of missions sent by the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and India to Mars since 1960 ended in failure. Tianwen-1 is not China's first attempt to go to Mars. A previous mission with Russia in 2011 ended prematurely as the launch failed. Now, Beijing is trying on its own. "As long as (Tianwen) safely lands on the Martian surface and sends back the first image, the mission will... be a big success," Chen said.

Green Or Red Light: China Virus App Is Ticket To Everywhere

2020-12-31T00:41:41Z

GeorgiannaDunham:

Privacy concerns surrounding the use of technology to fight the coronavirus weigh less heavily in China than in Europe To enter many offices, restaurants, parks or malls in China nowadays, people must show their status on an app that determines whether they are a coronavirus threat. There is often a moment of tension before opening the app on arriving at a location. A green light lets you in anywhere. A yellow light could send you into home confinement. The dreaded red light throws a person into a strict two-week quarantine at a hotel. Such controversial use of technology has raised alarm in Europe as countries including Britain, France and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] Switzerland look into launching their own apps to trace infections. But use has mushroomed across China, where the government keeps a close eye on the population and collects troves of personal data. Many Chinese people say they are happy to cooperate for the greater good. "We are in a special context with this epidemic, so divulging my movements doesn't bother me," said Debora Lu, a 30-year-old Shanghai resident. "Human life is more important." - Travel pass - There is more than one tracking app in China. An app by the State Council, China's cabinet, uses GPS locations shared by telecommunications companies -- the kind of data sharing that might not be permissible in Western democracies. Tracking apps allow authorities to look back at someone's travel history in the previous 14 days and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] see if they visited areas considered high risk for COVID-19 It allows authorities to look back at someone's travel history in the previous 14 days and see if they visited areas considered high risk or were exposed to anyone with COVID-19. The app appears to have had some glitches. The health code of many foreigners in China inexplicably turned yellow one day in April. When an AFP reporter encountered a similar issue more recently, the app turned green again after he turned it off and on several times. Other applications do not use GPS data but rely on a host of alternative information. The capital Beijing has a "Health Kit" program that displays whether people have taken a train or plane, passed a road checkpoint into the city or have been tested for the virus. Police, health authorities and neighbourhood committees that are ubiquitous in the communist-ruled country feed information into the software. Otherwise, all the apps basically work in the same way. After downloading the app, users enter their name, identity card number, telephone number and sometimes a photo. The program then gives the person a coloured health code. The apps have become a necessity for travel in China, to book train or plane [http://www.wordreference.com/definition/tickets tickets] or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-huu-nghi-quan-nam-ninh-que-lam-4-ngay.html tour du lịch quế lâm] enter many public places, though not all establishments require them, such as supermarkets. - Giving up privacy - Beijing's city government insists the apps "are only used in the fight against the epidemic" and have access to just surnames and the last two digits of ID numbers. A driver scans a QR code to register information before entering a community in the border city of Suifenhe, in China's northeastern Heilongjiang province "There is a difference between Chinese and Western culture," said Cui Xiaohui, a professor at the big data analysis and AI research centre at the University of Wuhan -- the city where the virus first emerged late last year. "Most Chinese people are ready to sacrifice a little bit of their private life if it is really for their health," Cui said. Li Song, a 37-year-old actor, agrees. "We are already super-connected and there is no debate on the use of geolocation," said Li, a Shanghai resident whose app was red when he returned from a trip to France and turned green once his two-week quarantine ended. It is not so simple in European democracies. The Swiss government's original plans to roll out an app were thwarted by parliament, which decided it needed a proper legal basis to press ahead. If approved, the Swiss app will be optional and no personal data or location information will be used, the government says. In France, the StopCovid app being developed would allow users who become sick to anonymously alert people they may have come across. It would not use GPS location technology. Britain is also trialling a new phone app to identify localised outbreaks. "China doesn't have specific laws or regulations yet on the protection of personal data," said Zhou Lina, a professor specialising in data protection at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. But the country has other legislation, including a cybersecurity law passed in 2017, that partially covers the issue and curbs abuses by companies online. These laws would not stop authorities from accessing personal data however, said Jeremy Daum, senior research fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center, noting that police have "enormous power" to collect information. "Government access to information is not held to the same standards and the law assumes that internal checks are sufficient to stop government abuses," Daum said.
