(People's Republic of China) has long been hailed a land of mystery and enchantment. It is recognized as one of the oldest civilizations in the world with more than 5,000 years of written history.

A string of heritage backs China's opulent and diverse culture. Chinese art, literature, science and medicine are dated back to centuries before Western civilization. There is evidence of these treasures long before Columbus even set foot on North America. Millions flock to China each year for a glimpse into the many wonders and achievements of their ancient civilizations.

In the first 30 years of its formation, Communist China faced scores of obstacles, hardships and opposition. China started their economic restructuring with the Open-door policy in the late 70's. The country is continuously under economic, legal and regulatory reform and has grown today to be the 2nd largest economy in the world.
