The PRC was studied by the political scientists and was told to be the most mentioned in the news and on the internet plus these were the most common places to find the information on them to. the country is ran by a communist party of china. But there are some other political parties but they don't have the same amount of power as the PRC but they can do small things for example the National Peoples Congress they have made L
liberalization possible.
China has made a lot of friends with the bigger countries like The usa and canada

natural resources of China
Natural Resources
Student Encyclopedia Article
The Land > Natural Resources
China has a large and varied stock of natural resources. The variety of different landforms, soil conditions, and climate patterns offers many different kinds of opportunities for agricultural production. A tremendous range of food and industrial crops can be grown, and this makes it possible for China to keep imports to a minimum.
Another aspect of China's natural endowment is its rich supply of mineral resources, a product of its complex geology. In ancient geologic times much of what is now China was under the sea. Movements of the Earth's crust against three huge, stable masses of ancient Precambrian rock (in southeastern China, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia) gave rise to China's characteristic parallel ridges and plains. In the lowlands and basins, which were repeatedly submerged during the Paleozoic era hundreds of millions of years ago, great quantities of carbon-containing material were deposited, and these became the carbon-based fossil fuels—coal and petroleum—that exist today. Deposits of other minerals accumulated as a result of geologic processes, including vulcanism associated with the crustal movements.
China's coal and petroleum reserves are abundant. Reserves of tungsten, antimony, tin, mercury, salt, fluorspar, and magnesite are among the largest in the world, and the tungsten and antimony deposits may be the largest. China also has sizable reserves of iron and manganese ores, bauxite (aluminum ore), limestone, and copper, though it remains to be determined whether these are sufficient to meet China's growing domestic needs.
China leads the world in the size of its coal reserves, which are estimated at more than 600 billion tons. These reserves would keep China supplied with coal for about 500 years if usage were to continue at its present level. China produces more than 1.1 billion tons of coal annually, most of it bituminous coal or lignite. China relies on coal as its primary energy source, a condition likely to continue at least through the 20th century.
Petroleum is not as easy to estimate as coal, but China is believed to have extensive reserves, both on land and offshore. There are a number of large areas with the right characteristics to contain oil and gas scattered throughout the country, and oil and gas have been discovered in more than half a dozen of them. In addition, there are believed to be major offshore deposits in the Bo Hai Gulf; the Yellow Sea; the East China Sea; the Formosa, or Taiwan, Strait; and the South China Sea. All of these deposits are in the continental shelf, the natural extension of the mainland under the adjacent water bodies.
Offshore prospecting is under way in several locations, with a number of Western and Japanese petroleum companies assisting China. Some offshore drilling has taken place, and producing wells have been developed in the Bo Hai Gulf region. In recent years, however, most of China's petroleum has come from the large Daqing field in Heilongjiang Province in the northeast or from fields in the North China Plain near the mouth of the Huang He. Petroleum production in 1992 totaled 1 billion barrels, enough to meet China's domestic needs and provide a small amount for export.

China has an area of 9.6million square kilometers making it the third largest country in the world after Russia and Canada. China has a rooster like shape on a map. The countries that surround China are Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakstan, Mongolia, and Russia.China is located in southeast Asia along the Pacific Ocean coastline. The coastline is 18 000 kilometers.

Regions
Both the North and the South regions of China are located in the eastern monsoon area. These regions are divided by the Qin mountains-Huai River. Almost all of the population of China live there.
There are two other regions, the Northwest and Qinghai-Tibetan regions take up 55 percent of the land.

Human Environment
Interaction
The environment is being polluted by the coal combustion and it is damaging humans, the water quality, agriculture and the economy. In 1998 there was a report that seven out of ten of the most polluted Cities in the world are in China.
One of the reasons for this is there is a lot of acid rain. 30 percent of Chinas land area is hit with acid rain. The furnaces and boilers of China are the largest single point sources of Urban air pollution. In 1999 the government of beijing declared that the city vehicles had to use natural gases and by the year 2002 there were 1630 buses running on natural gases.

China is home to one of the most famous transportation options of all: the Trans-Siberian Railway. Train tracks go nearly everywhere in China
The buses of china are relatively comfortable and affordable and will take you almost anywhere you want to go in china. Chinas cities all have buses that will take you were you want to go in China for a bit of cash. Taxies in China were once hard to find in china but know the place is crawling with taxies for travelers and the locals. One of the cheapest ways of transportation in China is taking a boat to were you want to go.
