China in WW2

It is obviously a major advantage, but it is possible to do it without knowing Chinese, though it would be far more difficult. You would have to start with really simple things, like pointingto yourself and saying your name and then build it to "My name is..." and get people to repeat it using their own name. So you would need a lot of signs, like pointing at things. There are many challenges in teaching English to Chinese people. Chinese is different in terms of its grammar, rules, structures etc., so it is more difficult to explain corresponding features than it is for other languages. So certainly it is an advantage to be able to speak the language of your students. A very important rule in teaching any language is to use as much of it in the classroom and as little as possible of the language that your students speak. So it can be good if the teacher doesn't have full fluency in the students' language and it is good if there is a mix of native languages amongst the students, so that they are forced to speak English wherever possible to each other.

As late as the 1800's they were still seeking a passage to Asia. Your question needs a little work to be able to answer.

One interesting custom is that of lovers bringing a padlock - often engraved with their names - and locking the padlock to a chain provided for the purpose on the Great Wall, to symbolise the enduring nature of their love. Apparently it is not just the wall, but mountains too are favoured for this practice

In China, granted land use rights are the rights to use state land for a fixed period of time, which are granted by the government to land users. Generally, land users enter into land grant contracts with the government authority in charge of land, and pays land grant premiums in exchange for land use rights on state land for a fixed period of time. The maximum term of land grant is determined based on its use. For example, the term for residential use is 70 years while the term for industrial use is 50 years. Chinese law requires that all land use rights for commercial use must be granted by bidding, auction or quotation on the open market.

The "Battle of the Yellow Sea"; known in Russia as the "Battle of 10 August", which was fought in 1904 between Russian and Japanese steel battleships. The battle was tactically inconclusive, but a strategic victory for the Japanese Battle Fleet, as the Russian Fleet turned about and headed back into port; where they remained.

Japan and Russia were both expansionist powers in the last 1800's. Russia had occupied Siberia - and even gone across the Pacific into Alaska and California. Japan, a latecomer to expansionist aspirations, began moving onto mainland Asia a little later than Russia. At this time, through the entire 1800's and the early 1900's, China was a very weak country. Although strong in numbers and resources, the Chinese lacked a central government with enough authority to defend the country. Many nations took advantage of this weakness. The British organized to sell narcotics to the Chinese, and when the Chinese objected to this horrific trade, the British attacked and forced the issue. The American's, French, and Germans all took over certain coastal areas and set up colonial territories for themselves. However, due to geographical proximity, Japan and Russia were the most active in occupying Chinese territory. The Russian's took over vast areas of Chinese land in what is now southern Russia. The Japanese advanced into Korea and made inroads into Manchuria, technically part of China. Russia lusted for a warm water port on the Sea of Japan and had set up Port Arthur, in southern Manchuria, as their area base. They began building a railroad to connect it to the Trans-Siberian rail system already in place. The Japanese saw this correctly as a threat to their own Chinese aspirations. War ensued. Japan won, this being the first time in modern history that a European nation had lost a war to a non-European power. The Japanese victory gave them control of Manchuria in its entirity. They renamed the territory Manchuko and began developing its rich industrial and agricultural resources for themselves. To a large extent the later Japanese invasion of 'China proper' was financed by the resources of Manchuria. Thus the Japanese army in Asia became to some extent, independent of Japan itself. This created a political split in Japan that eventually became insurmountable. The army in China wanted to press that war all the way to a conclusion that entailed occupation of all China. The Japanese homeland politicians and military leaders were more naval oriented and to some extent, wished to reduce the Chinese war so as not to antagonize various western nations, such as the USA. In 1941 the Japanese decided to attack the USA, their main antagonist economically. This led to Pearl Harbor. It is interesting to note that the entire Japanese war effort in the Pacific which entailed the conquest of Wake, Philipines, Indochina, Singapore, Bornea, Java, Sumatra, Malaysia, Burma, the Solomon Islands, and other places, was done with only eleven divisions. That such a small force could accomplish so much is indeed remarkable. The reason Japan could only field eleven divisions for this vast territory ties back to the Japanese Army based in China/Manchuria. That Chinese based army had become semi-autonimous due to the industrial base in Manchuria. When the central government requested troops to fight the Pacific war, the Japanese Army would only release eleven divisions, this considered the barest minimum to accomplish the tasks required. Otherwise, all units, of which there were many, were held back to continue to Chinese war. Essentially the Japanese Army defied the request from the Japanese central government, and made only a token effort at compliance. At 1945 Yalta conference the allies (America, Britain etc) requested Russia enter the Pacific threatre and provide assistance with helping to defeat Japan, which Russia agreed to after the Red Army had finished the Germans in Berlin. In August 1945, Soviet forces attacked the overstretched Japanese army in Manchuria and quickly overran them. The Soviets captured huge amounts of Japanese army military equipment which they turned over to their Chinese communist allies. These 'Red' Chinese were then able to defeat the American supported 'Nationalist' Chinese. The Soviets/Russians thought they would then at last have full access to the resources and warm water ports of Manchuria. Unfortunately for them, the new Chinese leader, Mao, had other ideas. As soon as he had full control of China, he began separating the Chinese from their alliance with the Soviets. Ultimately this split became total and the two nations have gone their separate ways. Manchuria is now fully integrated into the Chinese political and economic system.

1. The Chinese came in the 1849 as part of the California Gold Rush; when the gold dried up they built the railroads thru the Sierra Nevada Mountains. 2. The Japanese came in the late 1800's for job opportunities, farming primarily. 3. The Vietnamese came in the 1970's as part of the evacuation of their country when the Communists took it over.

Because a large amount of rice is produced there.

Possibly one quarter, if that. Japan had a lot of conquering to do. China's big, and when an army conquers a land, they must leave some troops their to "police" it. So Japan had to leave an "occupation" army in china (approximately one million men), and go else where to conquer more territory, with the men that weren't staying in occupied Manchuria.

Already weakened by being tortured by the Japanese, he went on a hunger-strike to protest against the ill-treatment of his fellow-prisoners. He was then struck by dysentery, but was refused medical treatment. He was bundled up in an old blanket and left without food or water in an empty room meant for dying prisoners, and died three nights later.

The American Volunteer Group under Claire Chennault was being actively recruited and prepared for combat in support of the Chinese in 1940. The Flying Tigers were in place when Pearl Harbor was attacked although they did not see combat until 20 December 1941. A loan had been made to China by the US of 25 million dollars and the embargo of oil and aviation gas was directly tied to US support for China.

The Great Wall of China was conceived and started during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
