LIKES AND DISLIKES OF CHINA (Parties, Spare time, TV programs)

THE POLITICAL PARTIES OF CHINA ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF COLOMBIA. IN HIS IDEAS AND IN THE WAY OF CHOOSING HIS REPRESENTATIVES:

In colombia the parties are THE LIBERAL ONE, THE CONSERVATIVE, THE PARTY of the U, THE DEMOCRATIC POLE the more important .

China is the most populous country in the world, and is ruled by a single political party, the Communist Party of China. Eight other political parties, known as the “democratic parties,” work with the Communist Party of China, but do not actually hold any power. This situation has been criticized by individuals who are concerned about China's history of human rights violations, because it is feared that the citizens of China may not be adequately represented politically.
The Communist Party of China was founded in 1921 in Shanghai. The party was established to promote communist ideology in China and to supplant the Kuomingtang regime, which controlled Chinese politics after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. In 1949, the party defeated the Kuomingtang and founded the People's Republic of China.

The TV in China is very different, in China the TV is more fiction science than the Colombian TV, in Colombia is more love histories. for example in China: China from the Inside includes perspectives ranging from those of the increasingly rich, to the increasingly poor, the powerful to the powerless and the supporters and detractors of today's China. It does not shy away from China's many contradictions, with scenes from some of the most breathtaking places on the planet as well as the most polluted and with its candid conversations with modern urban people as well as inhabitants of traditional rural communities. China from the Inside visits temples in Tibet, border areas of Muslim Xinjiang, Communist Party meetings, a village election.

The programs for children in China are of JAPANESE origin, become in this country like those who appear in colombia.

The people in CHINA use his free time sharing with his family, walking in the fields of the city, being present at festivals prinsipañmente in BEIGHIN, but always with the family that is more important.

RESEARCH ABOUT SURVIVAL AND COMMUNICATION IN CHINA

Standard Mandarin, also known as Standard Spoken Chinese, is the official modern Chinese spoken language used by the Mainland China, Taiwan, and is one of the four official languages of Singapore.
The phonology of Standard Mandarin is based on the Beijing dialect of the Mandarin language, a large and diverse group of Chinese dialects spoken across northern and southwestern China. The vocabulary is largely drawn from this group of dialects. The grammar is standardized to the body of modern literary works written in Vernacular Chinese, which in practice follows the same tradition of the Mandarin dialects with some notable exceptions.

China is a country with different types of persons. Almost the half of the country English speaks therefore the English is a resource to survive in small stone because the mandrin is very difficult and for that the English is the language of the world. In China the persons can learn the language if the Spanish language is taught to the Chinese. In addition in colombia the English is very important for study, to work, to go out of the country.

5 IMPORTANT PLACES IN CHINA

China is a beautiful country and I want to know these places that are very interesting:

1. The Forbidden City

Behind the walls, more than 10 metres high, and within the 50 metres broad moat, life in the Forbidden City was determined by a multitude of rules and taboos. Today, the gateway serves as a gigantic entrance for visitors where it leads to one of the most fascinating displays of Chinese cultural history and to what is probably the best preserved site of classical Chines architecture.

2. The Square of Heavenly Peace
On 1st October 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People’s Republic of China from the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tiananmen). Today, his portrait gaze south from this spot to the Square of Heavenly Peace, which was quadrupled in size during the 1950s so that up to a million people gather in the square. In the centre of the square is an obelisk, unveiled in 1958, the Monument to the Heroes of the Nation.

3. Temple of Heaven and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest Set in the middle of a park of 270 hectares, the Temple of Heaven, an outstanding architecture in China dates from the Ming period, was destroyed several times after being struck by lightning and was last rebuilt in 1890. The temple complex has only been open to the public since 1949.

4. Lhasa

The capital of the province and centre of Tibetan Buddhism, lies at an altitude of 3,660 metres on the banks of the river Kyichu, a tributary of Yarlung Zangbo river. Potala, a palace built by King Songsten Gampo stood on the Marpori, the "Red Mountain", in the 7th century. Since the construction of the Potala Palace in 1645 at the time of the Great 5th Dalai Lama, the Dalai Lamas resided here as religious and secular rulers. Visitors can look down into the valley and the old city from the roof of Potala.

5. The tallest saltwater lake: Namtso Lake in Northwest (NW) China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

With an altitude of 4,700 meters (m) and an area of 1,940 square kilometers (km), Namtso Lake, China's tallest saltwater lake, is a sacred lake to Tibetans, attracting many disciples to pilgrim from far and near. The lake, like a huge pearl mirror embedded into the north Tibetan steppe, reflects the belief and pursuit of the Tibetans for many generations. Besides, the natural scenery is breathtaking, attracting flocks of photographers to catch its beauty each year.

For this I like it very much Chinese and I invite them to travel to so spectacular country. It is very nice and very cheap to the holidaiy.

XTREME SPORT IN CHINA

Beigin Ma Hetai of Guangzhou takes regular weekend rock climbing trips to Yangshuo, a tourist city in the karst peaks about a day's drive from home. He piles into a car with friends and stays with another friend who owns a bar in Yangshuo. Ma owns his gear, a one-time expense, so his trips cost 100 yuan (US$12) to 200 yuan per trip, mostly in road tolls, an acceptable price for the average Chinese wage-earner. Scaling cliffs "meets needs" that ordinary nightlife and tourism - staples of China's young moneyed generation - cannot, says Ma, who has practiced the sport for three years. The number of people like Ma - practitioners of "extreme sports" like rock climbing, bungee jumping and skateboarding - has been increasing by about a factor of five each year in China since the mid-1990s, when extreme sports first appeared here.
