What are the advantages of China's geographical position in the world?

China's geographical advantages in the world are as follows:

First, from the latitude position, China's territory spans a vast latitude from north to south, most of which is located in the middle latitude area, belonging to a few areas south of the north temperate zone, located in the tropical area south of the Tropic of Cancer, and there is no frigid zone. Middle-aged ice and snow similar to the cold zone can only appear in alpine areas, so the latitude position is superior.

China's superior latitude position makes China have diverse climate and abundant crop resources. Therefore, China has great advantages in grain planting and animal husbandry.

2. From the land and sea position, China is located in the east of Asia-Europe continent, the largest continent in the world, and it is deep into Asia-Europe continent in the west, with many countries bordering on the inland and the largest ocean in the east. There are many islands and ports in the Pacific Ocean, which makes it a country with both land and sea.

China's superior land and sea position can be described as follows: China is a big country with both land and sea. It is located in the east of Asia (revealing the huge space for the development of land transportation) and the northwest coast of the Pacific Ocean (clearly showing the natural broad conditions for the development of marine transportation).

There is a huge space for the development of land and sea transportation, which allows us to connect with the world and exchange needed goods. In ancient times, the Silk Road in China had two routes: the Silk Road on land and the Silk Road on the sea. Now, China's foreign trade is developed, and there are many coastal ports, and the annual cargo throughput of many ports ranks among the top in the world. The opening of China-EU land trains has added new impetus to China-EU trade.

Thirdly, the western part of China lies on the edge of the Eurasian plate, which makes the topography of China in a three-step distribution, which makes China rich in water resources and relatively closed environmental advantages.

Because the geographical environment is relatively closed, it slows down the impact of the outside world. In ancient feudal society dominated by land, geographical environment was particularly important. For example, the Arab civilization to the west of Pamirs and the Indian in South Asia almost never attacked the feudal dynasty in China in ancient history, because to attack the developed areas of China, it is necessary to cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Pamirs, which is a huge obstacle. From ancient times to the present, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Himalayas and the Pamirs are insurmountable obstacles for foreign enemies to invade China.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not only a natural barrier against foreign invasion, but also the birthplace of important rivers such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Yarlung Zangbo River. It is known as the "water tower" in Asia, and provides a steady stream of water for many countries such as China every year. Southern China is at the same latitude as Saudi Arabia, Alhabo and some African countries in the Middle East, but their climate types are quite different. China has a warm and humid subtropical monsoon climate with both rain and heat, while Saudi Arabia and Africa have a desert climate with less precipitation and high temperature. It can be said that the south of China has not become a desert like the Middle East, but a "land of plenty" in China, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has contributed greatly.

Four, China has a superior strategic defense geographical position.

China is more than 5,500 kilometers from north to south and 5,200 kilometers from east to west, forming a western part that goes deep into the hinterland of Asia and extends to the southeast of the world's oceans. In the world military geography, China's geographical position has a very important strategic position for us to implement the active defense strategy, stop and oppose foreign aggression and safeguard world peace.

These advantages of China's geographical position in the world also make China one of the important reasons for becoming a world power. Proud of our great motherland.
