The Country
Covering
approximately
9.6 million
square
kilometers, China is the world's second-largest
country by land area. China's landscape is vast and
diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi
and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to
subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya,
Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges
separate China from South and Central Asia. China
had the largest and most complex economy in the
world for most of the past two thousand years,
during which it has seen cycles of prosperity and
decline. Since the introduction of economic reforms
in 1978, China has become one of the world's fastest-growing major economies. As of 2013,
it is the world's second-largest economy by both nominal total GDP and purchasing power
parity (PPP), and is also the world's largest exporter and importer of goods.

The City
Hong Kong is a world city and is one of the Alpha+ cities. It ranks the 5th most important city
all over the world in Global cities index in 2014.
It has the largest income inequality among
advanced economies. It also has one of the
highest per capita incomes in the world, and has
a high Human Development Index and high
international rankings in financial and economic
competitiveness. As Hong Kong ranks as the
third most important international financial centre, after London and New York City, it has a
major capitalist service economy characterized by low taxation and free trade, and the
currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. The limited
space created demand for denser construction, which developed the city into a centre for
modern architecture and the world's most vertical city.
