China has one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and one of the world's longest continuously used written language systems. The successive states and cultures of China date back more than six millennia. For centuries, China was the world's most advanced civilization, and the cultural center of East Asia, with an impact lasting to the present day.
It has been said that China is not a country. It's really a different world, one possessing origins of the oriental civilizations. China is considered to be the third largest country in the world with reference to area and population. This country of dragon occupies Central and East Asia.
