China

Abstract:

China is one of the world’s oldest civilizations and has a long, varied and fascinating history. Chinese political history is one of various dynasties, which have risen, ruled and eventually fallen. Currently, the country is politically ruled by a single party, the Communist Party, although a shift towards more of a market economy continues. Although still much less economically developed than the most developed economies, China has experienced amazing recent success in economic growth and poverty reduction.
