China, officially known as the People's Republic of China, is a COMMUNIST country in East Asia. Currently, China has the largest population in the world.  With more than 4,000 years of recorded history, China is one of the few countries that have flourished culturally and economically since the early stages of world civilizations.

Chinese leaders in 2010 pledged to double China’s GDP by 2020, and the 13th Five Year Plan includes annual economic growth targets of at least 6.5% through 2020 to achieve that goal. In recent years, China has renewed its support for state-owned enterprises in sectors considered important to "economic security," explicitly looking to foster globally competitive industries.
