China has been a favorite country of mine for years. I like all things Chinese. Confucius is a favorite of mine, so is Toaism. Chinese medicine is fantastic. Chinese poetry is the best. China was at one time a super mega power but they never looked to see what the west was up to and in time the west overtook them in almost all ways. Now China is far behind the west in technology and many other fields, but they are trying real hard to catch up.
