This article is about the Chinese civilization. China (;
Wade-Giles (
Mandarin): Chung1kuo²) is a
cultural region, ancient
civilization, and
nation in
East Asia. It is one of the world's oldest
civilizations, consisting of states and
cultures dating back more than six millennia. The stalemate of the last
Chinese Civil War has resulted in two political states using the name China: the
People's Republic of China (PRC), commonly known as "China," which controls
mainland China,
Hong Kong, and
Macau; and the
Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as "
Taiwan," which controls the island of
Taiwan and its
surrounding islands. Most governments officially regard the areas administered by the ROC as a part of "China"; for details on the dispute, see see
Political status of Taiwan.
