Geography of China
China has a highly diverse physical geography. The eastern half of the country consists of fertile plains and foothills in the north as well as hilly and mountainous terrain in the south. It is the location of most of China's population and agricultural output. The northwest of the country is dominated by sunken basins, rolling plateaus, and towering massifs, and has much lower population and agricultural potential. In the southwest is the highest plateau on earth, the Tibetan Plateau. The 18,000 km (11,000 mi) coastline has been used extensively for export-oriented trade, causing the coastal provinces to become the leading economic center. The People's Republic of China has an area of about 9,600,000 km2 (3,700,000 sq mi). The exact land area is sometimes challenged by border disputes, most notably about Taiwan, Aksai Chin, the Trans-Karakoram Tract, and South Tibet. The area of the People's Republic of China is 9,596,960 km2 (3,705,410 sq mi) according to the CIA's The World Factbook...
