Sea. Neighboring countries include Afghanistan,
Bhutan, Burma, Hong Kong, India, Kazakhstan,
North Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Macau,
Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan,
and Vietnam. The PRC also claims Taiwan
which is controlled by the Republic of China
(ROC), a separate political entity as its 23rd
province, a claim which is controversial due to
the complex political status of Taiwan. China
has a diverse terrain with mostly mountains,
deserts in the west and plains in the east.
Principal rivers flow west to east including the

language.

Constitution:
After the founding of the PRC, four Constitutions have
been formulated successively in 1954, 1975, 1978
and 1982. The first Constitution was adopted by the

WW1:
For a long time, China wasn't interested in
foreign affairs. They kept to themselves,
especially in terms of trade until later 1800s, so
they probably weren't interested at all... China
really didn't have a reason to be concerned.
They were far enough from the action, had
everything they needed to support themselves...
They could have attacked Allies for some sort of
revenge of the grievances with Britain, who
treated them badly in the past. Example, Opium
Wars when Britain forced China to open trade.

W.W.II:
Chine played part of the roll that brought
America into conflict with Japan, it was Japan's
marauding in China and their expansionism in
general that caused the Americans to embargo
Japan. This embargo in turn would make the
Japanese bomb Pearl Harbour. The Chinese had
no active roll in WW2 other than Mao Zedong
and Chiang Kai-Shek's combined guerilla
warfare, against the Japanese in China. Chinas
were at war against Japan in WW2. The US sent
CHINA war supplies by air from India. The pilots
flew over the Humps or Himalayas , the planes
the flew that route called "The Flying Tigers". An
attempt was made to build a 2000 KM road from

China In Cold War:

China was the first nation to fall to the
Communists after the end of WW II. For many
years its policies were closely tied to the
Soviet policies in the ongoing conflict of the
Cold War against the West. They supplied
hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the
Korean War. They were major suppliers, and
provided troops to North Vietnam (mostly in
country to free up NVA troops to deploy south)
during the Vietnam War. After Stalins death in
1953 the USSR and PRC started drifting apart.
The Chinese felt the Russians were using
them, and they wanted to pursue their own
interests. By the late 60s there were open
