China (traditional Chinese: 中國; simplified Chinese: 中国; Hanyu Pinyin:
Zhōngguó ; Tongyong Pinyin: Jhongguó; Wade-Giles (Mandarin): Chung¹kuo²) is
a cultural region, an ancient civilization, and a national or multinational
entity in East Asia.
China is one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations, consisting of
states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's
longest continuously used written language system, and the source of such
major inventions as what the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham
called the Four Great Inventions of Ancient China: paper, the compass,
gunpowder, and printing.
The stalemate of the last Chinese Civil War has resulted in two political

commonly known as China, which controls mainland China, Hong Kong, and
Macau; and the Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as Taiwan, which
controls the island of Taiwan and some nearby islands
