Peoples Republic of China is a cultural
region, ancient civilization,
and nation
in East
Asia. It is one of the world's oldest civilizations,
consisting of states and cultures
dating back more than six millennia. The stalemate of the last Chinese
Civil War has resulted in two political entities using the
name China: the People's

China, Hong

and its surrounding
islands. China is one of the world's oldest continuous

language system, and is said to be the source of some of the
world's
great inventions, including the Four
Great Inventions of ancient China: paper,
the compass,
gunpowder,
and printing.
