History
China, representing one of the earliest
civilizations in the world, has a recorded history
of about 3,600 years. It possesses rich historical
documents as well as ancient relics. Like other
nations,
China,
in its development, passed through the stages of
primitive society, slave society, and feudal
society. During the middle decades of the 19th
century, capitalist forces of foreign countries
invaded China, and China was slowly transformed into
a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The
founding of the People's Republic in 1949 marked
China's entry into the socialist stage. During the
long period of historical development, the
industrious, courageous, and intelligent Chinese
people of all nationalities collectively created a
great civilization. They made great contributions to
all of mankind.
