	History of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		China is one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with written records dating back at least 3,500 years, and with 5,000 years being commonly used by Chinese as the age of their civilization.
		Hence, as some scholars of China suggest, the Xia and the Shang can possibly refer to political entities that existed at the same time, just as the early Zhou (successor state of the Shang), is known to have existed at the same time as the Shang.
		With the proclamation of the People's Republic of China 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, with two governments, each of which regarded itself as the one true Chinese government and denounced the other as illegitimate.

		While conducting the war in China, Möngke fell ill of dysentery and died (in 1259), which aborted Hülegü's campaign, staved off defeat for the Song, and caused a civil war that destroyed the unity, and invincibility, of the Mongol Empire.
		The fourth Yuan emperor, Emperor Renzong of Yuan China was the last which may be seen as "successful": he stood out among the Mongol rulers of China as an adopter of the culture of China, to the discontent of the Mongol elite.

		According to John K. Fairbank's influential "tribute system" model, imperial China neatly integrated Han and non Han Chinese, outer "barbarians," and Westerners into hierarchical structure of relationships, with the emperor at the center surrounded by vassals on the periphery.
		Little attention has been paid to the fact that during the first half of China's last imperial dynasty, the Qing (1644-1911), tribute to the imperial court was divided into two components: domestic tribute and diplomatic tribute.
		Throughout the Qing, the newly integrated Inner Asian populations-including the Mongols, the Central Asians, and the Tibetans-were perched as "domestic" or "internal," that is, existing within the bounds of the Chinese empire.
