China, to the student of trade, is the most interesting country on globe

China, to the student of trade, is the most interesting country on globe. The reason for this purpose - that its area is so big, its population, so extensive, and its possibilities for development, so magnificent. The full area of empire, according to last estimations, makes 4 218 401 square mile. Other estimations do it in 4 468 470 square miles. Greatness of this area can be understood from several comparisons. It - approximately one twelfth a full surface of the earth of globe. These are two and times of one quarter the size of the European Russia. It - almost one and one half of times full area of the United States, exclusive from Alaska. But all this territory has no equal commercial interest. The Chinese Empire consists of six parts: Appropriate China, Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet, Jungaria, and East Turkestan. Because of recent agreements which grant Russia the right to construct and 'operate' railways in Manchuria ostensibly for the purpose of maintenance for the big Russian Trans-Siberian Railway shorter route to Vladivostok, its Pacific Manchuria a final stop becomes actually Russian possession. Turkestan, Jungaria, Tibet, and Mongolia it is thin are occupied coun the [140] attempts hardly semicivilized. But a part which remains when they
'Dependences' are missed from Chinese by consideration at once one of the greatest most densely occupied, and the most fertile countries on the person of globe, and one also most richly provided in mineral products. Its area makes 1 336 841 square mile. Its population 386 000 000. Its population in square mile far does not require 300. That is its area is more than in eleven times more than that from the Great Britain and Ireland, and almost than those one half from the United States, exclusive of Alaska; its population ten times is more than that from the Great Britain and Ireland, and it is more than six times more than those from the United States; while its population in square mile is more than that from any European or American country except the Great Britain (to which, however, it is almost equaled), Holland, and Belgium. Actually, it is more than one quarter of the general number of the population of globe is concentrated within borders of Appropriate China.
