Description[ | ]
China is the oldest major civilisation that is still in existence today, with written records dating back over 3,500 years. After first being unified by the Qin dynasty in 221 BCE, China alternated between periods of unity and disunity, and was occasionally conquered by external ethnicities. Today, the People's Republic of China, established by the Communists in 1949, occupies the mainland, while the former Nationalist government of the Republic of China governs the island of Taiwan.
