China General
Information
China is situated in eastern Asia, bounded by the Pacific in the east.
The third largest country in the world, next to Canada and Russia, it
has an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, or one-fifteenth of the
world's landmass. It begins from the confluence of the Heilong and
Wusuli Rivers (135°5' east longitude) in the east to the Pamirs west of
Wuqia County in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (73°40' east
longitude) in the west, with about 5,200 kilometers apart. In the
north, it starts from the midstream of the Heilong River north of Mohe
(53°31' north latitude) and stretches south to the southernmost island
Zengmu'ansha in the South China Sea (4°15' north latitude), with about
5,500 kilometers in between.
The Chinese border stretches over 22,000 kilometers on land and its
coastline extends well over 18,000 kilometers, washed by the waters of
the Bohai Sea, the Huanghai, the East China and the South China Seas.
The Bohai Sea is China only inland sea.
There are 6,536 islands larger than 500 square meters, the largest
being Taiwan, with a total area of about 36,000 square kilometers, and
the second, Hainan. The South China Sea Islands are the southernmost
island group of China.
CAPITAL: Beijing -- Area: 16,800 square kilometers with
population: 17.55 million (by 2009)
CLIMATE: China lies mainly in the northern temperate zone under the
influence of monsoon. From September and October to March and April
next year monsoon blows from Siberia and the Mongolian Plateau into
China and decreases in force as it goes southward, causing dry and cold
winter in the country and a temperature difference of 40 degrees
centigrade between the north and the south. The temperature in China in
the winter is 5 to 18 degrees centigrade lower than that in other
countries on the same latitude in winter. Monsoon blows into China from
the ocean in summer, bringing with them warm and wet currents, thus
rain. Great differences in climate are found from region to region
owing to China's extensive territory and complex topography. The
northern part of Heilongjiang Province in the northeast has no summer,
while Hainan Island in the south has a long summer but no winter. The
Huaihe River valley features four distinct seasons, and the western
part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is covered by snow all year round.
The southern part of the Yunan-Guizhou Plateau is spring-like in all
seasons; and the northwestern inland regions could see great variations
of temperature within the day. Annual precipitation also varies greatly
from region to region, which is as high as 1,500 millimeters along the
southeastern coast, and as low as 50 millimeters in the northwest.
POPULATION: 1.328 billion (2008), about 22% of total population in the
world.
The Chinese population is unevenly distributed, with the eastern part
heavily populated (more than 400 persons per square kilometer) and the
west scarcely populated (about 10 persons per square kilometer). The
national average density of population is 130 per square kilometer.
The average size of Chinese household is 3.7 persons. The proportion of
population aged at 0-14 was 19.4 percent, 69% between the ages 15-59,
and 11.6% for the age group of over 60. The average life span of the
Chinese population is 72.27 years, with the male at 68.71, and female
at 73.04.
ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS: China has 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions,
4 municipalities and 2 Special Administrative Regions (Hong Kong and
Macao).
