TERRACOTTA ARMY The Terracotta Army or the "Terracotta Warriors
and Horses" is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the
armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form
of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210209 BCE and whose
purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife. The figures,
dating from approximately the late third century BCE,[1] were
discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an,
Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their
roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include
warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the
three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000
soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the
majority of which remained buried in the pits nearby Qin Shi
Huang's mausoleum.[2] Other terracotta non-military figures were
found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen and
musicians.
Slide 15
CHINAS clothing TRADITONAL CLOTHING There are there type of
tradition clothing in CHINA. All of these items are use few
stitchers and with loose fitting with large sleeves. They are
normly dark in colour with intricate tapestry sew over the top.
MORDERN CLOTHING Today, clothing in China uses a mix of traditional
and modern ideas. Traditional motifs such as lions, deities and
Chinese opera characters are often printed, woven or embroidered
onto fabrics. Dragons, phoenixes and lightning are popular designs,
particularly among the younger generation.
Slide 16
CHINAS climate The climate in China varies from region to
region since the country is massive! In the northeast the summers
are hot and dry and the winters are freezing cold. The north and
central regions have frequent bouts of rain coupled with hot
summers and cold winters. In the southeast there is plenty of
rainfall, semi-tropical summers and cool winters. Flooding can
occur in the central, southern and western regions and the country
in general can experience earthquakes.
Slide 17
CHINAS length of coastline China's coastline covers
approximately 14,500 km (around 9,010 mi ) from the Bohai gulf on
the north to the Gulf of Tonkin on the south. Most of the northern
half is low lying, although some of the mountains and hills of
Northeast China and the Shandong Peninsula extend to the
coast.
Slide 18
CHINAS time change to Australia The center of China is 2 hours

Slide 19
CHINAS major industries, HISTORY Industry and construction
account for about 48% of China's GDP. China ranks second worldwide
in industrial output. Major industries include mining and ore
processing; iron and steel; aluminium; coal; machinery; armaments;
textiles and apparel; petroleum; cement; chemical; fertilizers;
food processing; automobiles and other transportation equipment
including rail cars and locomotives, ships, and aircraft; consumer
products including footwear, toys, and electronics;
telecommunications and information technology. China has become a
preferred destination for the relocation of global manufacturing
facilities. Its strength as an export platform has contributed to
incomes and employment in China. The state-owned sector still
accounts for about 40% of GDP. In recent years, authorities have
been giving greater attention to the management of state assets
both in the financial market as well as among
state-owned-enterprises and progress has been noteworthy.
Slide 20
CHINAS major industries, Structure Since the 1950s, the trend
away from the agricultural sector toward industrialisation has been
dramatic, and is a result of both policy changes and free market
mechanisms. During the 1950s and 1960s, heavy industry received
most attention and consequently grew twice as rapidly as
agriculture. After the reforms of 1978, more attention to the
agricultural sector as well as a move away from heavy industry
toward light resulted in agricultural output almost doubling with
only marginal increases for industry.
Slide 21
CHINAS major industries, Energy industry Power grid
construction has entered its fastest ever development; main power
grids now cover all the cities and most rural areas, with 501-kv
grids beginning to replace 220-kv grids for inter-province and
inter-region transmission and exchange operations. An international
advanced control automation system with computers as the mainstay
has been universally adopted, and has proved practical. Now China's
power industry has entered a new era featuring large generating
units, large power plants, large power grids, ultra-high voltage
and automation.
Slide 22
CHINAS major industries, Automobile An example of an emerging
heavy industry is automobile manufacture, which has soared during
the reform period. In 1975 only 139,800 automobiles were produced
annually, but by 1985 production had reached 443,377, then jumped
to nearly 1.1 million by 1992 and increased fairly evenly each year
up until 2001, when it reached 2.3 million. In 2002 production rose
to nearly 3.3 million and then jumped again the next year to 4.4
million. Domestic sales have kept pace with production. After
respectable annual increases in the mid- and late 1990s, sales
soared in 18 the early 2000s, reaching 3 million automobiles sold
in 2003. With some governmental controls in place, sales dipped to
2.4 million sold in 2004.
Slide 23
CHINAS major industries, STEEL Concomitant with automotive
production and other steel-consuming industries, China has been
rapidly increasing its steel production. Iron ore production kept
pace with steel production in the early 1990s but was soon outpaced
by imported iron ore and other metals in the early 2000s. Steel
production, an estimated 140 million tons in 2000, rose to more
than 420 million tons by 2007.
Slide 24
CHINAS region Chinas region is ASIA
Slide 25
CHINAS technology, MILITARY TECH One example of new Chinese
military technology is the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile which
reportedly has contributed to a quick and major change in US naval
strategy. China is developing anti-satellite weapons and plans to
make the navigational Beidou system global by 2020.Other new
technologies include Chinese anti ballistic missile developments,
the Chengdu J-20 fifth-generation jet fighter, and possibly
electromagnetic pulse weapons. Chinese reconnaissance satellites
are, according to a 2011 report, almost equal to those of the
United States in some areas in which China had almost no capability
a decade earlier.Despite increased defense spending, China's share
of the world's import of arms is rapidly falling, in part
reflecting the increased abilities of the indigenous military
production. China is also developing power projection military
capabilities such as through the Chinese aircraft carrier programme
and the Type 071 amphibious transport dock.
Slide 26
CHINAS technology, Polar research The Chinese Arctic and
Antarctic Administration (CAA) organizes China's scientific program
for both the Arctic and Antarctic. Polar research by China, in
particular in Antarctica, has been growing rapidly with China now
having three Antarctic research stations and one in the Arctic on
Svalbard.
Slide 27
CHINAS technology, Entertainment The Chinese animation industry
and access to the latest technology, such as 3D computer- generated
imagery technology, is actively supported by the Chinese government
and included in the latest national planning. In part this may be
because of a desire to increase Chinese soft power. The same
technology as in Hollywood is available and much postproduction is
outsourced to China. Successful indigenous artistic creativity is
seen as a problem and may be restricted by factors such as
production being aimed at getting government patronage rather than
public approval, censorship, and some story lines based on Chinese
culture not appealing to foreign audiences. DreamWorks Animation,
in a joint venture with Chinese companies, will set up a studio in
Shanghai that may eventually get bigger than DreamWorks HQ, in part
to avoid to quota restrictions on foreign films with China within a
decade having been predicted to become the world's biggest cinema
and entertainment market. Disney has also entered into a
partnership in order to help develop the Chinese animation
industry.
Slide 28
CHINAS technology, Motor vehicles The automotive industry in
China is the world's largest producer of motor vehicles. However,
China's indigenous car companies have had difficulties on the
global market and the growing electric vehicle market has been seen
as way to remedy this. China in 2010 proposed controversial
legislation requiring foreign electric vehicle producers to form
minority joint- ventures and share technologies with Chinese
carmakers in order to get market access. A 2011 report financed by
the World Bank stated that China was becoming the world leader on
electric vehicles
Slide 29
CHINAS technology, Trains BBC wrote in a 2011 article on
high-speed rail in China that China in 2005 had no high-speed
railways. In 2010 it had more than Europe and in 2012 China was
expected to have more than the rest of the world combined. China
demanded that foreign companies wanting to participate had to share
their technology. 10,000 Chinese engineers and academics then in
three years produced a faster Chinese high-speed train. China is
now exporting it to other nations. The high-speed rail network has
been criticized as a questionable state megaproject aimed at
increasing national pride and growth but having had problems such
as corruption, construction quality, safety, low utilization due to
high ticket prices, and high costs.
Slide 30
CHINAS technology, Transport Transportation infrastructure
continues to be rapidly developed. The National Trunk Highway
System was in 2011 estimated to surpass the US interstate system in
length.[85] Many Chinese cites have or are planning to build metros
or other forms of rapid transit.
Slide 31
CHINAS technology, Environmental issues Rapid industrialization
has been accompanied by many environmental problems and rising
pollution in China. One part of the Chinese response involves
advanced technology such as the world's largest high-speed rail
network and high fuel efficiency requirements for vehicles. China
is rapidly expanding its wastewater treatment systems and power
plant emission reduction systems. Due to the Chinese water crisis,
as well as for future exports, China is building up its
desalination technological abilities and plans to create an
indigenous industry. Some cities have introduced extensive water
conservation and recycling programs and technologies.
Slide 32
CHINAS technology, Chemicals KPMG in 2010 predicted that the
Chinese chemical industry will become world's largest producer by
2015. The Chinese government aims to make China self-sufficient
regarding petrochemicals and plastics with the exception of the raw
feedstock of oil and gas. The Chinese industry is increasing
R&D in order to create higher value products using more
advanced technology.[57] Another development is increasing focus on
environmental concerns and renewable energy technology.
Slide 33
CHINAS technology, Agriculture There is a lack of arable land
and water which means only new technology can increase the output
of Chinese agriculture. Former President Jiang Zemin's has
therefore called for a "new revolution in agricultural science and
technology."[59] Restrictions and regulations concerning
genetically modified foods have been introduced or proposed after
widespread public concern.[60] China has been buying millions of
foreign breeder animal as well as large amount of foreign semen and
livestock embryos in order to rapidly improve the genetics of
Chinese livestock.[61] More advanced agricultural methods such as
increasing use of pesticides has contributed to concerns regarding
the Food safety in China.
Slide 34
CHINAS technology, Robotics In some regions, such as the Pearl
River Delta, manufacturers have problems with labor shortages,
raising wages, and higher expectations regarding work from more
highly educated young people. This has increased the demand for
industrial robots. In 2014 China is predicted to be ranked fifth
regarding the total number of robots installed and to be ranked
first regarding the number of new robots installed.
Slide 35
CHINAS technology, Machine tools Development of advanced
machine tools, such as computer numerical control machine tools,
are seen as a priority and supported by the Chinese government.
China is the world's leading producer and consumer of machine
tools. A 2010 US government report stated that US export controls
of advanced five axis machine tools were ineffectual due to the
technical capabilities of Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers.
Slide 36
CHINAS technology, Supercomputing Supercomputing in China has
expanded rapidly. Supercomputing affects the possibility to do
cutting edge research in many areas such as design of
pharmaceuticals, cryptanalysis, natural resource exploration,
climate models, and military technology. In 2011 China had 74 of
the 500 biggest supercomputers while a decade earlier it had none.
China is developing the capacity to manufacture the components
domestically and plans to be the first to build an exascale
supercomputer. China may also be planning to create much more
powerful large- scale distributed supercomputing by connecting its
supercomputer centres together. Tianhe-1 was for a period in
2010-2011 the world's fastest supercomputer. In June 2013,
Tianhe-2, the successor to Tianhe-1, retook the crown again.
Slide 37
CHINAS technology, Semiconductors China's semiconductor
industry has despite extensive governmental support had many
problems in areas such as innovative new designs. This may be due
to factors such as poorly guided state and local government support
for soon outdated technologies and geographically scattered
efforts, lacking engineering education, and poor protection of
intellectual property. This may change by factors such a new
emphasis on market mechanisms rather than direct support,
concentration of efforts, return of Chinese who have studied
abroad, increased pressure on foreign companies to transfer
technology, indigenous Chinese technological standards, and
increased demands for indigenous technology in the local
market.

CHINAS architects Chinese architecture refers to a style of
architecture that has taken shape in East Asia over many centuries.
The structural principles of Chinese architecture have remained
largely unchanged, the main changes being only the decorative
details. Since the Tang Dynasty, Chinese architecture has had a
major influence on the architectural styles of Korea, Vietnam, and
Japan.

Slide 43
Why are so many goods we use made in China Because the labor is
cheaper so are the parts of the products. The Chinese worker must
work at least 12 to 13 hour; so ending product is a lot of
production faster and cheaper. So many products are made in China
because in China, people can work faster, for a longer period of
time, and for less money than the U.S!
