China has captured the imagination of people for centuries--from ancient scholars to Marco Polo and modern academic professionals. One of the largest countries in the world, China has a long and exciting history that spans thousands of years. Learn about China's history, economics, culture, people groups, amazing cities, and the future of China in this series. China's complexity can be traced back through history.
