It is also one of the six official UN languages. According to the genetic classification it belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family, and according to the typological classification - to the so-called isolating languages.

At the present time, English in China - is fashion and moreover it is epidemic.

China - a country which dates back to statehood history of several millennia and it has made a significant contribution to the material and spiritual culture of mankind. China with its large territory, huge labor and rich natural resource, potentially capacious domestic market has the objective preconditions for the creation of the integrated, versatile advanced economy, capable to provide the country with all necessary goods. Today according to the size and economic potential of GDP China is among the top ten countries. Increasing role in the world economy of Asian-Pacific region enhances the economic opportunities in China. China is extremely rich in raw fuel and mineral resources. There are large reserves of iron ore and ore metals for ferrous metal industry in the majority of provinces, in particular - in North China, Xinjiang and in the south. There are many reserves of polymetals ore, tin, antimony, tungsten, mercury in the provinces of South and Southwest of China. There are also large deposits of phosphates, fluorspar, asbestos, various building materials.

Industrial coal reserves make approximately 1 / 3 of the world's reserves. The province of Northern China has half of coal reserves in the country, and 1 / 5 of reserves is concentrated in the northwest provinces. 1 / 3 of China's territory is promising for oil and gas extracting. China has a powerful multi-industry. Along with the traditional (textile, coal, metallurgy) such new industries as oil and oil refining, chemical, aviation, space, electronic have appeared. Stamping press is also produced in China. The structure of energy balance is "coal" in character. Coal covers 3 / 4 of energy needs, oil - about 1 / 5. Coal production is 1.2 billion tons, the reserves are developed in all provinces, but the majority of the reserves is developed in North-China. Extracted oil accounts over 170 million tons.

The main producing areas are - North East, and the shelf. The output power does not cover the needs of the country, although the production of electricity is - 840 billion kw / h - China is ranked fourth in the world. Ferrous metal industry relies on its own reserves of iron ore, coal and metal alloying. The features of relief also affected the allocation of water resources. The wettest areas are Southern and Eastern parts, which has a thick and heavily branched system. China's largest rivers - the Yangtze and Hwang Ho flow here.

Among the largest rivers there are also: the Amur, Songhua, Yalohe, Xizang, Tsagno. The rivers of eastern China are most abundant and navigable, and their mode is characterized by an irregular seasonal flow of minimum cost in winter and maximum in summer. Floods caused by stormy spring and summer melting of snow, often occur on the plains. Today, the branch structure of industry in the country is presented by more than 360 branches. In addition to the traditional branches, new modern industries such as: electronics, petrochemicals, aviation, metallurgy of rare and trace metals, are created. According to the number of industrial enterprises to the number of employees China ranks first in the world. However, the equipment of the companies in the bulk is outdated and worn out.

Fuel and energy industries are among the weakest parts of the industrial complex of China. Despite the presence of rich natural resources, the development of extractive industries in general lag behind manufacturing. In the area of biotechnology the research and development are aimed at sharp increase in food resources, the prevention and treatment of serious diseases, development of new and renewal of old energy sources, development of waste production and reduction of harmful impacts on the environment.

Agriculture of the country is traditionally inherent to vegetal, especially grain orientation, grain is 3% of dietary intake of the country, and the main food crops are rice, wheat, corn, kaoliang, millet, tubers and soybeans. About 20% of areas under crops are occupied by rice, accounting for about half of the total grain harvest in the country. China is the world's largest producer of many agricultural products. Recent years have been very favorable for development of agriculture and the entire rural economy.
