| | People's Republic of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The People's Republic of China maintains diplomatic relations with most countries in the world, but makes acknowledging its claim to Taiwan and severing any official ties with the Republic of China (ROC) government a prerequisite for diplomatic exchanges. | | | The PRC asserts the Republic of China to be an illegitimate and supplanted entity and administratively categorizes Taiwan as a province of the PRC. | | | In 1974, the PRC replaced the Republic of China as the sole representative for "China" in the United Nations and as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council; it is also considered a founding member although the PRC was not in control at the founding of the UN. |

| | The constitution of the People's Republic of China provides for religious freedom, but religious practice is not encouraged. | | | In 1971 long-standing objections to the admission of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations were set aside by the United States; that October, Communist delegates were seated as the representatives of all China and, despite the opposition of the United States, which favored a "two-China" membership, the Nationalist delegation was expelled. | | | In the early 1980s, China reorganized the structure of the government and the CCP, rehabilitating many people purged in the Cultural Revolution and emphasizing the maintenance of discipline, loyalty, and spiritual purity in the face of increasing international contact. |

| | Developments in the all-encompassing reform program and their resulting impact on Chinese society, particularly the efforts of China's leaders to bring increasing prosperity to the more than 1 billion Chinese people, and China's growing participation and influence in the international community will remain of interest to observers throughout the world. | | | China's population itself had surpassed 1 billion people by 1982 and was experiencing an annual rate of increase of 1.4 percent. | | | China's development was influenced by the alien peoples on the frontiers of Chinese civilization, who were sinicized into the Chinese polity. |

| | Lots of people said China should have spent the money on education, eliminating poverty etc. But besides these, China has got to develop its own advanced technology, which is important as well. | | | The reality of China is a country where wealth aggregates towards a few highly polluted urban centres and hundreds of thousands of country people die of starvation each year there is a less than average harvest. | | | China is a sleeping giant - I strongly believe this is just the first of many great leaps we'll be seeing from them in the decades to come. |

| | The American advocates of terror and torture as a means of "liberating" the people of the Middle East at gunpoint are right, in a sense: there is no other way to achieve the goal they have set for themselves. | | | According to the Iraqi police, American soldiers recently executed 11 people in Abu Sifa, a village about 60 miles north of Baghdad. | | | The Americans, by their own account, then approached a nearby house, where they saw two people, a man and a woman, rush out the back door. |

| | Education Review-Brief Reviews |
| | China is influenced by a strong Confucian heritage descending deep into the lives of even the poorest peasant; demanding rote learning of "ABCs," respect for authority, and education for career advancement (i.e., off the farm). | | | Particularly in dealing with China, the historical factor must always be heavily weighted, and Seeberg's summary chapter of the continuing impact of China's Confucian educational (and political) culture is appropriately a key element of her assessment. | | | From the late 1950s on, the fact is most people were simply trying to survive the political and economic dislocations of the Great Leap Forward and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and saw little opportunity or purpose in education. |
