3. Ecosystems
China is one of the countries most affected by natural disasters. It had 5 of the world's top 10 deadliest natural disasters; the top 3 occurred in China: the 1931 China floods, death toll 3 million to 4 million, the 1887 Yellow River flood, death toll 0.9 million to 2 million, and the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake, death toll 0.83 million.

4. Climate
In China, a vast land spanning many degrees of latitude with complicated terrain, climate varies radically. China has a variety of temperature and rainfall zones, including continental monsoon areas. In winter most areas become cold and dry, in summer hot and rainy.

8. Cultural traditions in China and how they are changing
In China, nearly every single traditional aspect of life has been washed away by their rushing tide of money. Many people’s banks have been hit with massive force by this surging, high tide tsunami of wealth. Some of the traditions are kept up, such as Kung Fu and Chinese boxing but they are not considered as traditional as before because they are also taught in countries such as England and they are more fun than tradition. In rural areas many of the traditions are being kept up nut as China is and urbanising country, these traditions are slowly slipping away…

9. The growing importance of China globally

10. Economically
China’s rapid economic expansion has impressed the world. At the beginning of the twenty-first century China has become the third largest importing as well as exporting country, the fourth largest economy in the world (after the United States, Japan and Germany), and one of the top three destinations of foreign direct investment. The figures of its increasing world export market share in the period of 1985 to 2000 show that China has profited more from globalization than any other country.

11. Financially
China manufactures a vast amount of our every day life items. It is also where a lot of companies manufacture their items
( see page 7 for more details ) so financially China is the root of a lot of money being produced.

12. Conclusion
China has the potential to become the most powerful country in the world but the fact of the matter is… they may be urbanising to fast and eventually it may catch up with them and send them into a state of despair and confusion. Because the rural parts make a lot of profit and with that gone they may discover a decrease in profit.
