China is the world’s most populous country with over 1.3 billion people — about 1/5 of the earth’s population — and over 100 different ethnic groups, including Manchus, Mongolians, Tibetans, Uygurs, Tartars, Bais, Dong and Lisu tribal people.
China has one of the world’s oldest civilizations dating back over 6,000 years, but the country is rapidly modernizing and gaining power on the world economic and political stage, and is now only nominally Communist. The contrast between the sparkling skyscraper-filled cities of Shanghai and Beijing and the far-flung villages of Yunnan and Tibet is almost unimaginable.
