	Wikinfo \| Religion in China
		The first Jesuit attempt to reach China was made in 1552 by Francis Xavier, but he died the same year on the Chinese island of Shangchuan, without having reached the mainland.
		Estimates of Christians in China are hard to obtain because of the numbers of Christians who keep their faith hidden, the hostility of the national government towards some Christian sects, and difficulties in obtaining accurate statistics on house churches.
		The People's Republic of China was established in 1949 and for much of its early history maintained a hostile attitude toward religion which was seen as emblematic of feudalism and foreign colonialism.

	The Harbinger. A Letter from China: China Demographics.
		Alone, no Chinese language expertise, never been to China or even the Orient, little knowledge of Chinese culture except ancient hearsay stories of rickshaws, Chinese women with tiny feet, men with stringy goatees, families with multitudes of children (none of which are now true), and visions of rice paddies dancing in my head.
		China, with nearly 3.7 million square miles (9.6 million sq km) is the third largest country in land mass, just slightly larger than USA, but it has more than twice the population.
		China has 22 provinces, three municipalities, five autonomous regions (including Tibet) and is bordered by no less than 14 nations and four different seas.

	Pundita: China by the numbers
		Instead, China must learn to rule cities that are mushrooming into the largest urban concentrations the world has ever known, populated by poor migrants speaking various dialects.
		In the mere span of five years between 1996 and 2000, China's urban-rural population ratio rose to 36%-64% from 29%-71%, and the UN Population Division projects that by 2050, the ratio will shift to 67%-33% urban.
		China claims 80% literacy, but as countryside reads less than the city, it is a fair guess that a third of the migrants will be illiterate, and many of them, again perhaps a third, will not be able to understand a political speech in Mandarin, the largest dialect.

	Carried Away: Demographics
		Indeed, the UN projects the 2050 median age of China to be 44.8 years, while in comparison it projects the media age of the U.S. to be 41.1 years and India to be 38.7 years.
		China cannot even out its population pyramid with immigration like the US has done, simply because there are no places that have sufficient surplus people to make a big difference by immigrating to China.
		Those who fear China are correct in pointing to demographics as a major determinant of relative national power, but they might be surprised on what the demographics actually tell us on a relative basis.

	Surplus Males and US/China Relations
		China's One-Child population policy has had and is having a major effect on both its sex ratios, as well as on the other components of its population mosaic.
		China is in the beginnings of creating a social security system in order to provide old age security for parents who will hopefully rely less on a male heir to provide for them.
		The problem in China is not so much that women don't have reproductive freedom; rather it is the way that women are exercising their freedom in the context of China's culture that is troublesome.

		China is now the second biggest consumer of oil on the planet after the US That in the next 12 months, the growth in that demand is set to double previous predictions and its energy needs are expected to more than double by 2020.
		I talked about it in Emergent Weirdness in India and a few days ago there was another BBC story about the increasing number of Indian men unable to find wives and forced to stay with their parents and care for the family.
		China, the most populous nation on Earth, could find itself dealing with the combined frustrations of as many as 40 million single men by 2020 because its one-child policy is creating a shortage of female babies.

	FuturePundit: Aging Or Sex Ratio Bigger Demographic Problem For China?
		In China, demographers call it the “4-2-1 problem,” a reference to the fact that in many families one child will be expected to support two aged parents and four grandparents.
		Pension coverage in China is largely limited to urban workers in the state-owned sector of the economy.
		Moreover, China’s older population may not be as hardy as peers from affluent societies — people likely to have been better fed, housed, and doctored than China’s elderly throughout the course of their lives.

		The Wade-Giles system is commonly used for Chinese romanization on Taiwan, but Chinese romanization on Taiwan tends to be highly inconsistent with the only general rule that Hanyu Pinyin is not used.
		Unlike Mainland China, Taiwan does not use Roman letters in teaching pronunciation in schools but rather uses a system called Zhuyin.
		There have been efforts by the educational system to move toward a Roman-based system, but these have been slow due to bureaucratic inertia, political reluntance to follow mainland China's footsteps and the huge cost in teacher retraining.

	Session 49 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This paper seeks to understand the process of China’s economic reform and the reorganization of social groups by comparing the two major state-sponsored history-writing projects since 1949: the Four Histories Movement launched in 1956 and the history rewriting project launched in the early 1980s.
		Americans in China were also protected from the unfair trade competition from the third country citizens by the Most-Favored-Nation clause contained in every major commercial treaty the United States negotiated with the Chinese government.
		The paper also argues that the strength of the new China lobby also lies in its role of "broker" between America and China, through which information is conveyed, expertise is displayed, and misunderstanding is reduced.

	New Economist: China's bachelor bomb: AIDS, crime, war?
		Will China's one-child policy and a strong cultural preference for sons lead to a 'bachelor bomb', ushering in a marriage squeeze?
		This impending surplus of unattached young men could be a driving force behind increased crime, explosive epidemics of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and even international threats to the security of other nations.
		Clearly a country as large as China cannot address its demographic problems by means of immigration (although there is a steady flow of brides from N Korea apparently).

		If it were not for China's firm population control policy, millions of Chinese would be dying of starvation in the remoter parts of the nation by now, to which the aid by those against this policy would be piddlingly inadequate.
		The problem that human intervention in population growth has created is that China is getting to have too many men compared to women, and will have too many greying old people compared to young people.
		A means must therefore be found to motivate the single male and the dislocated elderly to remain within the mainstream of productivity as the population ages.
