China

The largest population in the world, closed to foreigners for decades, 4000 years of history. Fireworks, mathematics, gardening, silk, medicine, jade, the great wall. Imperial, feudal, communist, totalitarian. China proves to be a fascinating country; the stereotypes of uniform communist clothing and limited free speech are long gone. What exists now is a country industrialising like it's on steroids - embracing the more mercenary aspects of capitalism better than the west. The Chinese have long been studying our practices, and are now impelementing them with a vengeance.
