China ("Zhongguo" – the Central Kingdom) has a civilization that spans 4,000 years, the longest unbroken civilization in the world. It was the center of East Asian culture for many centuries, exerting a strong influence on its immediate neighbors, including Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
Over the last two decades, China has achieved the highest economic growth rate in the world. According to the World Bank and IMF estimates, in terms of the real size of its economy, China now ranks second internationally.
