  History of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The early history of China is complicated by the lack of a written language during this period coupled with the existence of documents from later time periods attempting to describe events that occurred several centuries before.
As China was ruled by two independent dynasties, one in the south and the other in the north, this is called the era of Southern and Northern Dynasties.
With the proclamation of the People's Republic of China (中華人民共和國) on October 1, 1949, China was divided yet again, into the PRC on the mainland and the ROC on Taiwan and several outlying islands of Fujian (福建省), with two governments each regarding itself as the one true Chinese government and denouncing the other as illegitimate.

 Labor in China - Editorials/Op-Ed - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The New York Times article attributed China's rapidly accelerating wages to "persistent labor shortages," noting that the rising wages were "swelling the ranks of the country's middle class." U.S. workers should view this as a welcome development because American exports become far more affordable to Chinese workers whose living standards are rising.
Applying "the math of small numbers" to China's changing wage structure, Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley recently explained why China and its 1.3 billion people are unlikely to lose their comparative advantage in the manufacture of goods.
Roach finds the "labor shortage in China" argument to be "equally preposterous." He cites the 60 million workers that have been furloughed by China's state-sponsored enterprises since 1997.

 China e-Lobby: September 2005
Communist China slanders East Turkestan, again: This time, it was Luo Gan (the fellow Hu Jintao sent to oversee the Hanyuan County Massacre) who darkly hinted cadres in the occupied nation should “be prepared for danger in times of safety” (BBC).

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with her counterparts from Communist China and Russia, and all agreed that “the agreement was the binding text, including the question of light-water reactors” (United Press Int’l via Washington Times).
