China For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences. After World War II, the Communists under Mao Zedong established strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. Today, China has a market-oriented economy which has been growing rapidly. For some people, living standards have improved yet political controls remain tight. ©2012, TESCCC

Two koreas The peninsula’s history reflects that it was mostly an independent kingdom for much of its long history. Korea was occupied by Japan beginning in 1905 following the Russo-Japanese War. Five years later, Japan formally annexed the entire peninsula. Following World War II, Korea engaged in a civil war that lasted about three years. The war was a stalemate (nobody won) leaving it divided into two countries. North Korea (communist/dictatorship) and South Korea (free market economy with a democracy) ©2012, TESCCC
