China as a country is officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia 
Oh cool, I never knew that before.
China has the world's most populous country, with a population of around   3 billion.

Well, just like Egypt, China is one of the world's earliest civilizations, in the fertile basin of the Yellow River in the North China Plain.
I thought it was more on par with the Greeks.
