About
China & Chinese
China has the world’s oldest continuous living civilization, and its
culture has had significant impact on its neighboring countries.
Now China is rapidly becoming a major player in world politics,
and its economy is expanding fast. China not only is a country that
one must deal with politically, economically, and culturally, but
it also provides opportunities to the world in business, scholarly
research, and many other contexts. Mandarin (or Putonghua) is the
official language. Chinese literature is a rich reservoir of Chinese
culture and is the major source for the understanding of the cultural,
social, political, philosophical, and aesthetic aspects of this
nation.
