82. Name two basic national conditions of China: the country is vast and has great regional differences; China is a large developing country with a large population and a low per capita GNP

1. China's geographic location and its characteristics:

●Latitudinal location and superiority: China's territory spans a wide range of latitudes from north to south and most of the territory is located in the mid-latitudes and belongs to the (northern temperate) belt, and a small part is in the (tropical) belt. A small part in the (tropical), no (frigid). The large differences in climate provide favorable conditions for the development of (diversified agricultural economy).

●Sea and land location and superiority: (1) located in the east of (Asia), the west coast of the (Pacific) Ocean, so that the vast areas of the eastern part of China (under the influence of the summer winds and humid air currents, precipitation) rich, and is conducive to (agricultural) production; (2) sea and land, the eastern part of the region is conducive to the (friendly exchanges between overseas countries); the western part (deep within the Asian-European continent), so that China's land transportation with (Central Asia, West Asia, Europe) countries, and (Central Asia, West Asia, Europe). The western region (deep inside Asia and Europe) enables China's land transportation to have direct contact with (Central Asia, West Asia, Europe) countries, which facilitates foreign exchange and cooperation. (3) There are many excellent harbors and bays along the coast, which facilitates the development of (marine business).

●China's territory covers an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, ranking third in the world only after (Russia) and (Canada). There are 14 land neighbors. In counterclockwise order, they are North Korea, (Russia), (Mongolia), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, (India), Nepal, Bhutan, (Myanmar), (Laos), and Vietnam. The land border is more than 20,000 kilometers. Six countries are separated by sea: South Korea, (Japan), Philippines, (Malaysia), Brunei, (Indonesia).

2. China's Population

●Total Population: (1.295) billion in 2000.

●The salient features of China's population: large population base and rapid population growth.

●Characteristics of China's population distribution: population distribution (uneven), with the line of Heilongjiang Heihe-Yunnan Tengchong as the boundary, the (eastern) region is densely populated, and the (western) region is less densely populated. (China's western region is sparsely populated, but rich in resources, in the western development, should pay attention to what problems? The western region has the advantage of resources, but the natural environment is relatively fragile. Under the current conditions where the contradiction between people, land, water and soil has become quite acute, the development of the west must be based on the premise of protecting the environment, and cannot be developed first and then governed.)

●Population national policy: the implementation of family planning.

●Content: Control the number of people and improve the quality of population

3. China's ethnic groups

●China *** has (56) ethnic groups, of which the most populous is the (Han), and the most populous among the ethnic groups is the (Zhuang).

●Characteristics of the distribution of the Han Chinese: The Han Chinese are distributed all over the country, with the highest concentration in the (central) and (eastern) parts.

● Characteristics of the distribution of ethnic minorities: they are mainly concentrated in the (Northeast), (Northwest) and (Southwest). The most populous ethnic minority is the Zhuang. The distribution of ethnic groups is characterized by (large mixed settlements and small clusters).

4. China's Terrain

●Characteristics of China's terrain: (complex and varied terrain, vast mountainous areas)

●What should be paid attention to in the development and protection of mountainous areas:

(1) The ground in mountainous areas is more rugged, and the (transportation) is inconvenient, and it is more difficult to build (infrastructure).

(2) When developing and utilizing mountainous areas, special attention should be paid to (ecological environment construction) and the prevention and avoidance of mountain disasters (such as collapses, landslides and mudslides).

●China's terrain features: (China's terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and is distributed in the form of a ladder).

Dividing line of the ladder Elevation Main terrain types Main terrain areas

Second Stage 1000-2000 meters Plateau, Basin Inner Mongolia Plateau, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Loess Plateau, Sichuan Basin, Tarim Basin, Dzungar Basin

Third Stage Below 500 meters Mounds, mountains, plains, basins interspersed with Southeast hills, Northeast China Plain, North China Plain, Southeast China Plateau, North China Plain, North China Plateau, Southeast China Plateau. Plain, North China Plain, Middle and Lower Yangtze River Plain

●China's terrain is high in the west and low in the east in a stepped distribution of the characteristics of China's climate, rivers, and transportation:

(1) the impact on the climate: China's terrain is high in the west and low in the east tilted to the ocean, which is conducive to the advance of the sea's humid air currents to the interior of China, bringing abundant precipitation for the majority of China's regions.

(2) the impact on the river: high west and low east terrain, will inevitably result in China's great rivers from west to east into the sea; rivers in the higher step to the lower step flow, the difference is large, resulting in huge water energy.

(3) Impact on transportation: the eastward-flowing rivers communicate with China's east-west transportation, facilitating the connection between the coast and the inland; the tall mountain ranges at the junction of the terraces have become a huge obstacle to China's east-west transportation.
