	ADB Approves US$200 Million Loan for Road Development in Guangxi, PRC - ADB.org
		Despite its strong economic growth during the past two decades, the PRC continues to experience a substantial regional imbalance.
		As stated in its updated Country Strategy and Program for the PRC, ADB is focusing its assistance on the central and western regions, which are less developed and suffer higher levels of poverty compared with the eastern region.
		The Autonomous Region of Guangxi is one of the three least developed provinces in the PRC, with a per capita gross domestic product of only 62% of the national average.

	Province (China) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A province, in the context of China, is a translation of Sheng (Chinese: 省; pinyin: Shěng), which is an administrative division of China.
		Theoretically, provinces are also the first level division of the Republic of China on Taiwan, though this role has been greatly diminished.
		Separated from Guangdong and established in 1988, Hainan is the youngest province of China.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: People's Republic of China
		The PRC asserts the Republic of China to be an illegitimate and supplanted entity and administratively categorizes Taiwan as a province of the PRC.
		In 1971, the PRC replaced the Republic of China as the sole representative for "China" in the United Nations and as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
		An unknown number of political dissidents are held in PRC “reeducation-through-labor” camps without trial, less than 5% of criminal trials include witnesses (though the conviction rate is 99%), the government censors all forms of communication, and in preparation for the 2008 Olympics over 400,000 residents of Beijing have been forcibly evicted from their homes.

	International Trade After 1978
		Among the results of the open door policy, therefore, was a rapid increase in trade volume, a gradual shift in trade composition due to greater Chinese flexibility in economic policy and a continuing tendency to conduct the overwhelming majority of its trade with partners from capitalist countries.
		At the moment, the PRC is a significant exporter of tungsten, antimony, tin and mercury, and amongst its major metal imports are copper and aluminium.
		However - as previously mentioned - the PRC government's efforts to get the economy moving again after a period of stagnation has led to another blow-out in the import of capital goods, but the government's efforts to control yet again their importation has been largely ignored by the provinces, and the blow-out continues.

	Taiwan (04/07)
		During the 18th and 19th centuries, migration from Fujian and Guangdong provinces steadily increased, and Chinese supplanted aborigines as the dominant population group.
		The P.R.C. opposes Taiwan's membership in such organizations, most of which require statehood for membership, because Beijing considers Taiwan to be a province of China, not a separate sovereign state.
		Maintaining diplomatic relations with the P.R.C. has been recognized to be in the long-term interest of the United States by seven consecutive administrations; however, maintaining strong, unofficial relations with Taiwan also a major U.S. goal, in line with our desire to further peace and stability in Asia.

	Law in Political Transitions: Lessons from East Asia and the Road Ahead for China - Council on Foreign Relations
		The PRC is, of course, far more notorious than the United States for its resort to the death penalty in many thousands of cases each year, with no fewer than 68 statutory provisions authorizing executions.
		Although the PRC has had several constitutions in its 56 years, until recently few individuals or groups took seriously the idea that the provisions of the Constitution might actually be enforceable, whether through the NPC or the courts.
		PRC reformers are increasingly aware of the extent to which the continental European criminal procedures on which their system has also been based have themselves become more “adversary” in nature especially in the post-World War II years.

	Human Rights in China
		Whereas the PRC Report largely uses national, aggregate data to show overall economic growth, that data cannot provide a complete assessment of its progressive implementation of the rights under the Covenant insofar as worse-off regions and vulnerable populations are concerned.
		The PRCâs declaration regarding Article 8.1(a) states that the application of Article 8.1(a) shall be consistent with the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Peopleâs Republic of China, Trade Union Law of the Peopleâs Republic of China and Labor Law of the Peopleâs Republic of China.
		While the PRC governmentâs report recognizes a poverty gap between the rural and urban areas, it emphasizes that standards of living have overall improved, and asserts that no discrimination exists.

	DEA - Publications - Congressional Testimony - 04/10/97
		The PRC is also a major source for essential precursor chemicals utilized in the production of methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine by trafficking organizations based in Asia, as well as South and Central America.
		The PRC recognizes the significant increase in the involvement of criminal groups in their country in the heroin trade, the use of their country as a transhipment point and the collateral rise in drug abuse and public corruption.
		During 1996, the PRC initiated through their national law enforcement arm, the Public Security Bureau a number of well publicized anti-drug and anti-crime campaigns that have resulted in thousands of arrests and impressive drug and chemical seizures.

	PRC Census Misses One-Third of Births: PRC Demographers Explain Why
		PRC demographers say that unrealistic local family planning goals, and the evasion of family planning fines and local taxes by failing to report births are the chief causes of inaccurate population statistics.
		The Disciplinary Committee report noted that in four provinces studied, family planning work was done well in 25 percent of the localities studied, in a mediocre, unsatisfactory fashion in 60 percent of the localities, and essentially ignored by local leaders in 15 percent of all localities.
		The official said that administrative links between the center and the provinces are weak: the provinces should obey Ministry directives but the Ministry does not hire and fire provincial personnel or control the budgets of their provincial or local counterparts.

	Natural Gas Gains Momentum
		Greater use of natural gas in China traditionally has been hindered by the absence of a strong supporter within the PRC leadership, an undeveloped pipeline infrastructure, and the priority placed on using natural gas in smaller-scale residential and industrial applications instead of the larger-scale power projects.
		PRC and international measurements of China's proven natural gas reserves range from 1.2-5.3 trillion cu m, with 1.7 trillion cu m the most frequently cited figure.
		Natural gas output in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and the Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions, on the other hand, typically is a byproduct of oil refining and makes up the bulk of China's remaining onshore production.

	Taiwan and the Two Chinas
		Many thought the sensible thing to do would be to recognize the PRC as the de facto ruler of the mainland and the ROC as de facto rule of the Taiwan, and leave the question of de jure recognition out of the picture.
		This suited the PRC fine, and since neither side was in favor of two China’s the US went along with the myth, and thus were lost several opportunities to extract Red China’s recognition of the de facto division into two Chinas as part of our deal in resuming trade relations with the mainland.
		A PRC response that triggered anger and fear toward the mainland could be expected to drive voters away from Soong, the candidate most acceptable to Beijing, from Chen, the candidate most likely to provoke Beijing, and toward Lien, the candidate of continuity and stability.

	[No title]
		In the technical terminology of political science the PRC was a communist state for much of the 20th century, and is still considered a communist state by many, though not all, political scientists.
		The PRC also opposes travel by the Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama due to his leadership of the Government of Tibet in Exile and Li Hongzhi, the spiritual leader of the Falun Gong, who lives in exile in the US.
		The PRC government is attempting to mitigate this problem by emphasizing the worth of women and has gone so far as to criminalize medical providers from disclosing to parents the sex of an expected baby.

	China: China - Olympic History
		In 1952 the PRC sent a delegation of 40 to the Games in Helsinki while no Taiwanese athlete participated in the Games to protest against the invitation of the PRC.
		In 1958 the PRC interrupted the relations with the IOC because Taiwan was seen as a part of China and from the PRC's point of view the recognition of two Olympic Committees for one country was a violation of the Olympic Charter.
		In the PRC this was considered a success of Deng Xiaoping's policy "One state, two systems".

	SAISPHERE 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The PRC possesses less than the global per capita average of almost every single major natural resource that is critical to development (including water and arable land), so maintaining rapid but sustainable economic growth is a daunting task.
		Beijing is so concerned because the viability of the current PRC government depends on continued economic growth that, in turn, requires energy to fuel the breakneck rate of expansion.
		Moreover, as the PRC seeks to pursue other energy sources, particularly nuclear and hydropower, there are going to be questions in China and around the world about the environmental consequences of those choices such as building the Three Gorges Dam.

	China's Private Business Sector
		In addition, the PRC government has expressed an interest in allowing the country's 242 State research labs to commercialize their research by spinning off private companies.
		While the proposed reforms, on the surface, seem likely to herald a new era of liberalization, the pragmatic approach of the PRC government in the face of financial crisis in Asia cannot be ruled out as the main factor in initiating such reforms.
		This flood of unemployed, or underemployed State workers represents a potential tinderbox of social unrest in the eyes of the PRC government, and so a solution to the unemployment problem is at the forefront of the Government's agenda.

	The PRC's Industry Structure
		As shown in Graph 2, the PRC's economy is characterised by a large share of industry - standing at 61.2% of total GDP in 1990 - with a smaller share of 24.4% devoted to agriculture and a much smaller service sector constituting only 14.4% of GDP.
		Although eighteen months of austerity measures had lowered inflation to 2.1%, after eighteen months of rising unemployment, stagnation of industrial output and a breakdown of the financial system because of debt defaults, the PRC government was forced to loosen the economic screws in the middle of 1990.
		The rapid growth of early 1991 indicated that the PRC government is still going to have to struggle further with enforcing its economic policies.

	Human Rights in China
		Although the PRC has pointed to its developing country constraints as an obstacle for implementation, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recently concluded that there are no significant factors affecting the PRCâs capacity to effectively implement its human rights obligations.
		First, despite the PRC promulgation of legislation and programs that fall under the Conventionâs scope of concern, the governmentâs policy choices have had a negative impact on the rights of children in China, and that impact has been disproportionately shouldered by the populationâs most vulnerable groups.
		The PRC violates the fundamental provision on non-discrimination in its policy choices that have, since âopen and reformâ in 1978, aimed to develop and modernize urban coastal regions, leading to serious and growing poverty gaps between the urban and rural areas.

		The funding agreement for Canada’s contribution of about $335 000 to the PRC was made formal and signed by IDRC at a ceremony in the Office of the Minister of DPSA in October 1997.
		In the course of the PRC’s period of intensive work, the Special Advisors organized a reference panel of key South Africans from national and provincial governments and produced a major paper on planning, budgeting, and financial administration, a report that would mark its contribution and would also serve as a teaching tool (PRC 1998).
		In meetings between one province’s Director of Strategic Planning and his Canadian counterparts, during March 1997, a plan was developed to send a mission of Canadians to work in the South African twinned province for nearly a month.

		The position of the PRC is that the ROC ceased to be a legitimate government upon the founding of the former on October 1, 1949 and that the PRC is the successor government of the ROC as the sole legitimate government of China, with the right to rule Taiwan under the succession of states theory.
		However, PRC argues that the ROC does not meet the fourth criterion as it is recognized by only 25 (relatively small and poor) countries and has been denied access to international organizations such as the UN.
		The PRC is unwilling to negotiate under any other formulation than a one China policy, but has been willing to allow the meaning of "one China" to remain ambiguous.

		Since Taiwan was a part of Fujian province, which was in turn one of the 18 provinces, thus Taiwan is, by at least one definition of China proper, a part of China proper.
		In any case, the definition of China proper uses the provinces of the Qing Dynasty, not the provinces of the PRC; the provinces of the PRC clearly have nothing to do with the concept of China proper; the provinces of the Qing Dynasty did.
		It is the tibet province, North bordered by Xinjiang and Qinghai, East bordered by Sichuan province.
