China, the most

populous Country

in the world

China is located in the south-

eastern part of Asia and is

roughly 9,706,961 kilometers

squared in a rea . The

Government that China is

run by is a Communist

state.The official language

spoke in China is Mandarin,

however Cantonese, Xiang,

Min and Hakka are also

commonly spoken. China is

the most populated country

in the world, with an

amazing 1.33 billion people!

Chinas growth rate is

approximately 0.87% and its

death rate is roughly the

same as Australia which is

6.77 deaths. In urban areas

across China, you would find

about 382 million people, or

about 37% of people who

live in the largely populated

country. The largest city in

China is not its capital

Beijing, it is Shanghai,

another well known city to

tourists and the local people

which is located in the south

of the country. Beijing is the

capital of China and was the

c i t y w h e r e t h e 2 0 0 8

Olympics were held. Beijing

i s r e c o g n i s e d a s t h e

educational, political and

cultural centre of the China.

The c i t y has a to ta l

population on eleven million.

The c i ty i s constant ly

changing, because it is being

modernised. People are

leaning towards motorbikes

for transport, rather than

cars to travel around the

city. Very few countries

around the world have the

same uniqueness and beauty

that China possesses. China

has a One Child Policy, which

was first introduced by

C h i n e s e l e a d e r D e n g

Xiaoping in 1979. The policy

was created to try and

control the population. The

children who do survive their

childhood usually live to an

average age of seventy-five.

Of this large population,

approximately 94% can read

and write with ease.

Chinese people are well

known all around the world

fo r the i r hard-work ing

personalities and their good

study habits. In China, mostwork in the industry sector.

Ch i na has a boom ing

industry, and this is where

the majority of people work

in China. A large amount of

chinese can be found working

in Agriculture, as farmers.

However, not everyone has a

job and earns enough money

to support their families.

Nearly forty-eight million

chinese l ive be low the

domest i c pover ty l ine ,

accounting for 3.7% of the

total population. Wealthier

fami l ies in China have

luxuries such as internet.

Roughly 450 million chinese

can afford to have internet.

In Australia the number of

users of the internet is not as

high because the population

is a lot lower. Currently,around 17 million Australians

are regular users of the

internet. Money is a major

use in China, as it is in any

other country. China regularly

imports and exports goods, in

and out of the country. The

official currency of China is:

Renminbi. It is legal tender in

mainland China, but not in

Hong Kong, Taiwan, or

Macau. It is issued by the

Peoples Bank of China and its

name means peop le s

currency.

Mountains cover 33% of

China and deserts cover

around 28%. Although China

is by far the worlds most

populated country, much of

its land is uninhabitable or

near uninhabitable. The

western half of the country is

mostly desert, the central

and southern areas of the

country are surrounded by

mountains and the north-

east is heavily forested and

reaches unbearable and

bitter temperatures in the

winter. China is surrounded

by four different landscapes,

which in theory protected the

country from being invaded

b e f o r e p l a n e s , a n d

technology were invented.

The barriers are: Mountains,

Ocean, Deserts and Plateaus.

The Himalayan Mountain

Range, The Gobi Desert, The

Pacific Ocean and many

different Plateaus surround

China, making it hard to

access on foot. Most of

Chinas tens of thousands of

rivers flow eastward, towards

the Pacif ic Ocean. The

countrys two longest and

most important rivers are the

Yangtze River, and the Huang

He (Yellow River), which both

travel along the Plateau of

Tibet.

More and more animals in

China have been classified as

endangered due to the effect

of human activities and

natural d isasters. Most

endangered species in China

can be found in the national

parks, or reserves. The key

element to saving these poor

animals is returning them to

a safe environment. The top

ten endangered animals in

China are: The Pere Davids

deer, Tibetan Antelope,

Black-Necked Crane, Chinese

A l l i ga to r, B rown Eared

Pheasant, Crested Ibis, South

China Tiger, Golden Snub-

nosed Monkey, White-Flag

D o l p h i n , a n d m o s t

important ly , The Giant

Panda.

China, the

fourth largest

Country

The Australian terrain well

known for its is mostly low

plateaus with deserts,

rangelands and a fertile

plain in the southeast. The

Chinese terrain is quite

different, consisting of

Mountains, plateaus and

hills which account for

nearly 70% of Chinas total

land surface. China has a

b r o a d e r r a n g e o f

landscapes than Australia,they also have many, many

m o r e p e o p l e . T h e

population density in China

is 130 people per square

kilometer. The Population

density in Australia was last

reported at 2.90 in 2010,

according to a World Bank

report published in 2012.

Oceans are one of the

main landscapes that was

able to prevent the country

from invasion in its early

years. The ocean that

borders China to its east is

The Pacific Ocean. The

Ocean that borders its

South-East is the South

China Sea. The second

longest river in China is the

Huang He or the Yellow

River. This river flows pastShanghai, and The Great

Wall of China before

emptying into the Bohai

Sea. Chinas capital is

located in the North-East of

the country. On this side of

the country, you will find

the Russian and the Korean

borders as well. As many as

fourteen countries border

China.

The Eastern and Southern

half of the country, has a

c o a s t l i n e a n d h a s

numerous offshore islands.

It is a region of fertile

lowlands with most of the

agricultural output and

human population. The

western and northern half

of China is a region of

sunken and has manyplateaus, and the land is

less fert i le , therefore

possessing less human

population.
