I'm not doing your homework for you.  But I'll take the 2 points!\n\nOh well, uh China like killed a bunch of like people b/c of the need for all the men to wear queues as a way of submission to the Emperor & they like chose death instead. Wait that wasn't a benefit...

the chinese gov has the right to control the country population. in major cities, they allowed a family to give birth to only 1 child. in rural areas, 2 child is permitted. if the family conceive another child, they are subject to some sort of fine..sounds cruel right? but i went to beijing recently and, beijing alone has almost 15 million people

The Chinese Wall.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please vote it the best answer. Thanks!

That's a qualified yes. There are sections on the wall that are impassable. So, you'd have to walk next to the wall for some of these portions.  You can see a picture of such an impassable area outside of Mutianyu at my website here - \n\nhttp://www.mikeschubert.com/china/Beijing/pages/105_0596.htm\nhttp://www.mikeschubert.com/china/Beijing/pages/IMG_2288.htm\nhttp://www.mikeschubert.com/china/Beijing/index_2.htm\n\nIf memory serves me correctly, there is a british man who has walked the length 3 times, starting at the desert and ending at the sea. A pair of American college students did it back in 2000.

China (simplified Chinese: 中国, Traditional Chinese: 中國, pinyin: Zhōngguó; listen (help·info)) is a geographical region in East Asia and Central Asia. With over one-fifth of the world's population, the majority of China exists today as a state known as the People's Republic of China, but it also refers to a long-standing civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 4,000 years.\n\nWith one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and the world's longest continuously used written language system, China's history has been largely characterized by repeated divisions and reunifications amid alternating periods of peace and war, and violent imperial dynastic change. The country's territorial extent expanded outwards from a core area in the North China Plain, and varied according to its changing fortunes to include multiple regions of East, Northeast, and Central Asia. (The term "China proper" is used by some observers and historians to describe the core territory historically home to the majority Han Chinese, as opposed to lands associated later with China such as what is now Xinjiang.) For centuries, Imperial China was also one of the world's most technologically advanced civilizations, and East Asia's dominant cultural influence, with an impact lasting to the present day.\n\nBy the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, China's political, economic, and military influence declined relative to the growing regional power of Japan and the influence of Western powers. The imperial system in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) under Sun Yat-sen in 1912; however, the next four decades of ROC rule were marred by warlord control, the Second Sino-Japanese War during which the Empire of Japan occupied large parts of China, and the Chinese Civil War which pitted Chinese Nationalists against the Communist forces.\n\nAfter its victory in the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China under Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the Nationalists to retreat and relocate the ROC government to the island of Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. Since then, the ROC has maintained administrative control over Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, several islands off the coast of Fujian province including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, and some islands in the South China Sea.\nShanghai, China's largest city\nEnlarge\nShanghai, China's largest city\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nEnlarge\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nContents\n[hide]\n\n    * 1 Terminology\n          o 1.1 "Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\n          o 1.2 "China"\n          o 1.3 "Cathay"\n    * 2 History\n    * 3 Chinese Pre-history\n    * 4 Political history\n    * 5 Territory\n          o 5.1 Historical overview\n          o 5.2 Historical political divisions\n          o 5.3 Geography and climate\n    * 6 Economy\n    * 7 Society\n          o 7.1 Demographics\n          o 7.2 Culture\n          o 7.3 Religion\n          o 7.4 Arts, scholarship, and literature\n          o 7.5 Science and technology\n    * 8 Miscellaneous topics\n    * 9 See also\n\n[edit]\n\nTerminology\n\n    Main article: Names of China\n\n[edit]\n\n"Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\nEnlarge\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\n\nChina is called zhong guo in Mandarin Chinese (Simplified: 中国, Traditional: 中國; also romanized as Jhongguo or Chung-kuo), which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."

China is still oppressive.  It's a paranoid government.  They don't give two craps about the universal rights of anything.

A very delicate subject.  Japan is trying to increase its trade with China.  Every time a Japanese Prime Minister visits the shrine, both the Chinese government and the Chinese newspapers on a rampage against the Japanese government and the "hatefull conduct" of it's military during the wartime period of 1936 - 1945.\n   The word "atrocities" (and rightfully so) is always mentioned during the shrine visits.\n   I would think that it is about time for any Prime Minister NOT to visit the shrine.

There are lots of people who were at Tianimen Square and lived through it.  The actual truth is that most of the people that were killed during this time were the citizens of Beijing that were outside of the square trying to prevent the Chinese army from getting to Tianimen Square.

Because China is a communist country and they control everything that happens

Japan Invaded Shanghai, which was formerly held by the int'l concession (USA and UK) and the french concession. Japan used Chinese citizens as tests for biochemical activities, and at one time planned to bild a zepplin with gas to poison target californian cities. Oh, and Japan had a mutual war pact with the nazis. Other than pearl harbor and the previous reasons stated..., I see no reason to be alarmed.

In the United States we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that protect our freedoms, yet in China the government is more like a dictatorship and what they say, goes.  I heard about his before, and yes, the government has absolutely restricted google use in certain parts of china because they do not want the people to learn how to overthrow or revolt against the govt.  Additionally, they dont want the people to see how good the rest of the world has it - this would give them much more of a reason to revolt against the chinese govt.

Most of them don't know about it.  It is never mentioned on the news or in text books.  Censorship is alive and well in China.\n (I had a friend who was studying in China at the time it happened, when he got home about six weeks later and I asked him about it - he hadn't even heard of it).
