Q1: Why is this article about the People's Republic of China?
A1: "China" is overwhelmingly used to refer to the People's
Republic of China rather than the Republic of China in both the Chinese and English languages. For relevant policy details, see WP:COMMONNAME. Q2: Why is the Chinese government not described as "authoritarian" (or by similar terms) in the infobox?
A2: A community consensus was reached which overwhelmingly opposed the inclusion of the term "authoritarian" and similar terms in the infobox (see archived discussion). However, this question may be revisited in the future. |
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the China article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. |

Side of the road
Why is the side of the road China drives in listed in the overview? There are so many more important things that could be listed. Cking1130 (talk) 23:38, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's a standard field of {{infobox country}}. Infoboxes are generally used to convey such quasi-trivia and tabular data/statistics. If you want to change it, you'd be advised to bring it up on the template's talkpage. --Cybercobra (talk) 23:44, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Mention of human rights in lede
Why does the lead not discuss the standard of human rights in the People's Republic of China.[1]? And also the illegal occupation of Tibet (according to the Tibetans[2])? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Or the absence of a free opposition and democracy[3] or a free press[4], or the censorship of the internet - the most stringent in the world[5]? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:49, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Such as the North Korea or the Burma articles do. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- International media coverage of Burma focuses far more on the democracy situation, though I doubt the same applies to coverage of the DPRK. Within the past few months, I can definitely say that int'l reports on the PRC mostly have been on economic issues, the most recent NPC, and disputes in the South China Sea. This lends to WP:DUE, and is not to mention the already lengthy lede. On a side note, human rights and democracy do not guarantee each other 100% of the time, and rambling on over Tibet without mention of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia speaks of crony, even cynical, double standards.

- I never suggested East Turkestan, Southern Mongolia or anything else ought not to be mentioned. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 09:48, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- No independent verification regarding such information, Tibet is owned by China, so such information should be added in Tibetan independence movement. Clarificationgiven (talk) 09:46, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
