China has one of the world's oldest and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system, and is the source of many major inventions, such as what the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham called the "four great inventions of Ancient China": paper, the compass, gunpowder, and printing. Historically, China's cultural sphere has extended across East Asia as a whole, with Chinese religion, customs, and writing systems being adopted to varying degrees by neighbors such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam. The first evidence of human presence in the region was found at the Zhoukoudian cave and is one of the first known specimens of Homo erectus, now commonly known as the Peking Man, estimated to have lived approximately from 300,000 to 550,000 years ago.

Answered by Bill W - Wed Jun 10 08:56:51 2009 Does China limit the number of christian missionaries because of the hypocrisy of the christians? Q. China limits the number of missionaries I know, and probably in part because christianity is a western religion, but is part of the reason because the christians pretend to want to teach English or doctor the poor or whatever but really only want to sell their product? It's a good idea China has to limit the numbers but why let any of them in at all? Is that a deal they made with the US government? It is appealing that China perceives the hypocrisy and won't allow much of it, either way. Sure they'd SAY that. They SAY they go these places to teach English. Then they say doing good works don't get you into heaven. So they are there to sell christianity like soap. Asked by sarrafzedehkhoee - Wed Sep 5 10:18:56 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A.

China refers to a one of the world's oldest civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 6,000 years. Due to the stalemate of the last Chinese Civil War following World War II, China currently looks like two separate countries: the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Republic of China (ROC). The PRC administers and governs mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, while the ROC administers and governs Taiwan and its surrounding islands. Each government used to claim that it was the only official government of China. However, PRC is nowadays widely accepted in the world as the only offical government.
