Country Investigator

After reading the Chapters for this week i decided to find out more information about China. I know China is a really big country, and i just wanted to learn a little about the country.
China is located in Eastern Asia, bordering the East China Sea, Korea Bay, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea, between North Korea and Vietnam. China is a very big country only slightly smaller than the United States.The capital of China is Beijing. The Climate is china is really diverse, it is very tropical in the southern parts of the country, and very cold and arctic like in the northern parts of the country. China has a mountainous terrain, high plateaus, desserts in the west, plains, deltas, and hills in the east. The highest point in China is of course Mount Everest, while the lowest point is Turpan Pendi.
The population in China as of July 2011, is 1,336,718,015. The birth rate for China is 12.29 births per 1,000 population. The death rate is 7.03 deaths per 1,000 population. Some other interesting facts about China that i found is that the Country has over 500 airports, and out of those airports, 60 of them have runways which are not paved. China is the world leader in gross value of agricultural output; rice, wheat, potatoes, corn, peanuts, tea, millet, barley, apples, cotton, oilseed, pork and fish. Another interesting fact that i found was that China has 313.68 million main telephone lines in use, and that is good for number one in the world.
