China


China, situated in East Asia, is the world's third largest country by area and the largest by population. It is one of the most ancient civilizations in the world with a history of 5000 years. Much of the country is covered by plateaus, hills, mountains and desert. The plains, China's granaries, only cover 12% of its land, feeding more than 1/5 of the world's population. China's incredible population and the Chinese Government's efforts to ensure adequate food and housing for its booming populace is the main reason behind the One Child Policy.
