China also known as "People's Republic of China" is the most populous nation in the world with over 1.3 billion people and 55 minorities. China is the oldest living civilization in the world with 5000 years of history. The name China stemmed from the Persian word for it that was Cin. Cin was derived from the early Chinese Qin Dynasty. For thousands of years, China was a leading civilization, outpacing the world in the arts and sciences but in the 19th and 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats and foreign occupation. After WW2, the Communist leader Mao Zedong seized China from Nationalist Chiang Kai Shek in a civil war. While ensuring China's sovereignty, Mao imposed strict controls over Chinese lives and inadvertently caused the deaths of millions of Chinese through his failed policies. Mao's successor, Deng Xiaoping focused on market-oriented development. After 3 decades, living standards improved dramatically. China is now the world's 2nd largest economy.
Educated person #1: China had a glorious past but they sucked in modern times.

Educated person #2: China's pride was shattered in the last 2 centuries but they're on their way to reinstate themselves as a world superpower.

A country rich with history, beautiful scenery, and great people; but a fucked up government that that issues more death penalties than speeding tickets.
I'd like to see China again

China is a nice place to travel, since it has 2500+ years of history. And its scenery is awesome.
But...
1) it is the world's most populated country;
2) its language is so damn hard for English-speaking ppl to learn;
3) it is Red...Communists controlled...
4) Kids from that land is under a lot of pressure...You never heard about any kid committing suicide after a test? Go there and find plenty...
5) People there are sly and selfish...They make friends for their life, not for who you are...Well it hardly happens...
6) The poor is poorer so You Have to Donate if you want to keep your regular job...And the donation get corrupted by the government. The poor get nothing but pity, well better saying as spiritual support.
7)I don't know what can prevent ppl there from sneaking abroad...
Man 1: Hey I wish I could've lived in Yun Nan Province, hell the scenery is awesome!
Man 2: You didn't hear about the earthquake this summer?
Man 1: Oh thats so not safe to go then!
Man 2: Indeed, the whole China is...

A country that is so old and complex that the average American could not write an accurate definition for it if they tried (and we do)
Maybe I'll write a definition for China...wait, i have no clue what really goes down in China.
