China is inhabited by over one billion people. Although there are many large cities in China, a large part of the nation's population still lives in rural areas. The largest Chinese city, Chongqing, is inhabited by over 30 million people, making it the largest city in the world.

The Chinese birth rate has declined significantly in recent decades because of the Chinese government's one child policy. The policy was discontinued in 2016.

The official language of China is Mandarin Chinese. Because all teaching in school is given in Mandarin, all Chinese people know how to speak CHinese.

For people from other countries, writing and reading Chinese can be hard, because the language is written with thousands of different symbols.
