Human right

Human right is a main argument about China, i think it deserves its own section in the index. The article is accurate about this theme, but it’s difficult to find it because it’s included in the ‘politics’ paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.91.133.239 (talk) 09:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

A bit late to reply, but although there's already a separate article on human rights controversies in China, it's worth mentioning that it's already mentioned in the lead and throughout the article as well. OhKayeSierra (talk) 00:26, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Yes . Republics have a lot of problems. Yes, there is another one. Russia has closed its state border.Dick Shane 2 (talk) 12:15, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Of course! 170 people were killed.33Habujin (talk) 15:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

How should China's government be described?

Should its government be described as 'Unitary one-party socialist republic' or 'Unitary one-party socialist republic under an authoritarian dictatorship' ?

Equivocation between China as historical sociocultural region vs modern-day country of People's Republic of China

This article should be split between the modern day country of the PRC and China as a region which has not always had the same boundaries much less cultural background as the modern day one. A solution is probably to move the current article to be only about PRC and move the contents about history and culture heritage to the [Greater China] article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.97.121.9 (talk) 20:11, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Virtually no country has had the same boundaries throughout its entire history, so there is no reason to treat China any differently. --Khajidha (talk) 13:53, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Religious section should be amended

"No religion/Chinese folk religions" would seem a nonsensical pairing. Not sure why they're listed together, especially on the pie chart. Chinese folk religions are a very broad school and should be listed separately. BBX118 23:07, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Coronavirus economic disaster getting worldwide attention

It's a medical issue yes but more it's a major economic disaster for China, with production and employment plunging in 2020. and it's a major economic crisis for USA, France, Japan, Iran, Italy etc. (US stock market lost over $3 trillion last week attributed to virus issues). Also it's a political issue regarding the ability of the Chinese govt to handle the double crisis. In terms of Wiki reader interest, there are 21,300 hits/ day on this China page with all its dozens of topics, and 10,000+ pageviews a day on the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak in Mainland China page on this one topic. Official Chinese data for Feb 2020 (reported in Wall St Journal) shown manufacturing DOWN 28%, non-manufacturing output DOWN 46% and employment DOWN 32% --that's getting worlwide attention in every news outlet. read the Wall Street Journal Feb. 28, 2020 Now let's hear the evidence that that the issue is unimportant for wiki readers concerned with China. I notee the editor involved also erased virus info from the Wihan page, calling it vandalism --see this edit. @Yeungkahchun: comments on Chinese 2020 economic crisis Rjensen (talk) 08:23, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Per the pageviews metric, after 4 Feb, pageviews of this page quickly began receding to normal levels. Even at the onset of the Hubei lockdowns ahead of Lunar New Year, the peak in pageviews could not match that attracted by the 70th anniversary of the PRC's founding. Further demonstrating the WP:RECENTISM of that addition, a JPMorgan economist has cited possible 15% second quarter GDP growth in the mainland.

"and it's a major economic crisis for USA, France, Japan, Iran, Italy etc" -- The fact that you say it is an economic issue for the whole world goes against the argument of putting it on China's page specifically. And there are thousands of cases in Italy and Korea and hundreds of cases in many more countries. -- Coronavirus should have its own page. And Spanish Flu should not be included as a section on Spain's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.169.197.8 (talk) 01:34, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Differentiation between de iure and de facto form of government

181.179.34.64 (talk) 08:12, 1 April 2020 (UTC) It's true the state structure envisioned in the P.R.C. Fundamental Law is followed, however, the top posts are help by top-ranking party officials that act according to Politburo decisions and orders. China is not an autocracy, it's an oligarchy. No need to alter the current political regime, current one is fully oligarchic. Please edit the article.
