China has a long history. Yuanmou people 1.7 million years ago are the earliest known human beings in China. In the 21st century BC, the Xia Dynasty, the earliest slavery country in China, was established. In the following thousands of years, the Chinese people used their own credit and wisdom to create a splendid historical and cultural civilization, in science and technology, social economy, literary thought, etc. Brilliant achievements were made in this respect.

China’s modern history is a history of humiliation and resistance by the Chinese people. However, the brave and kind Chinese people fought blood and overthrew the feudal dynasty and established a democratic government. In 1921, the great Communist Party of China was born, which pointed out the direction for the Chinese revolution.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people defeated the Japanese aggressors after eight years of arduous resistance and won the war of liberation. On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was proclaimed in Beijing, which marked China's entry into a period of socialist revolution and construction. After more than 50 years, the Chinese Communist Party has led the people of the whole country to adhere to the path of socialist development, continuously develop the socialist economy, and continuously improve the people's living standards.

China is the most populous developing country in the world. A large population, relatively insufficient resources, and weak environmental carrying capacity are China's basic national conditions at this stage, which are difficult to change in a short time. Since the 1970s, the Chinese government has unremittingly implemented the basic national policy of family planning across the country and implemented the path of sustainable development. There are many ethnic groups in China, and 56 ethnic groups have their own characteristics and blend with each other to jointly promote the development of socialism.
