  COUNTRY DESCRIPTION:    The People’s Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, with Beijing as its capital city.  With well over 1.3 billion citizens, China is the world's most populous country and the third largest country in the world in terms of territory.  China is undergoing rapid, profound economic and social change and development.  Political power remains centralized in the Chinese Communist Party.  Modern tourist facilities are available in major cities, but many facilities in smaller provincial cities and rural areas are frequently below international standards.  Read the Department of State Background Notes on China for additional information.
