Plains and basins make up only 35h: with mountains and plateaus covering the rest. Much is arid steppeland Unner Mongoliay China has two large life-streams: the Hwang tYellowl and the Yangtze over which a modern four-mile Nanking bridge has connected the nation and changed the lives of the Chinese people. Dams have helped put China into the 20th century, also. Very hot in the summers, and very cold in the winters, China's monsoons sweep the country with dust and rain storms all year. Today, there are more I than 75 million Chinese, and the government has been ruled by Communists since 1949, only recently having been reopened to Western visitors and world trade. China is one of the oldest inhabited nations on earth. The Great Wall, the only man-made feature on earth observable from outer space, was constructed in the far distant past to ward off invading tribes from the north. It stands 1, 500 miles long today, just as it did when Marco Polo saw it and other Chinese marvels, creating interest in trade and exploration of the East by Europeans in the Middle Ages. Today Kublai Khan's capital Peking is the capital, Hangchow is the site of the highest tidal bore-IS feet, Shanghai is Chinals largest city on the only central port not surrounded by mountains, Tientsin is the commercial center, and Canton, the home of Mao-tse-tung, is the center of Communism. Products of Chinese soil and manufacture are rice, wheat, millet, soybeans, tungsten, antimony, tin, copper, uranium, petroleum, carved ivory and jade, decorated porcelain, pottery, embroidered silk, and gold and silver filigree jewelry. h .0 we'd .Ee. jAMES T.
