About Partnership for China Chinese civilization began around 5,000 BC when Neolithic Chinese built settlement in the fertile yellow and Wei River Valleys, where the people lived in well-protected farming communities near Xian. Despite a long fascination with China in the West, when Europeans first read Macro Polo’s travel, they dismissed the accounts as pure fantasy. They could not believe there was a remote land that was vast, richer and more populous and in many way more sophisticated than their own. China is the world’s third largest country, after Russia and Canada, with an area of almost ten million square kilometers. Spanning some 5,000 kilometers from east to west and 5,500 kilometers from North to South it boarders on fifteen countries and territories. China topography has been compared to a huge staircase descending from West to East with a population of 1.3 billion, one every 5 living on the planet is a Chinese and with a rich culture of more than 7,000 years. China has much to offer, around 93 percent of the Chinese are Han ethnicity, the remaining 7 percent is made up of 55 distinct nationality groups – many numbering in millions. They originated in the yellow river basin the cradle of a sophisticated civilization that gradually spread throughout today’s China. In the vast two decades China has reinvented her economy and society in a fashion and gusto hitherto unseen. With unfurling prosperity, relentless ambition, the Beijing Olympic of 2008 and its membership of the WTO, China’s future is likely to be even more remarkable than the past. I am honoured to be able to witness this and to present to you Partnership 4 China an international trust, soliciting international collaboration for the exchange of culture, arts, knowledge and values with the people of this great nation.
