Situated in East Asia and bordered by the western part of the Pacific Ocean,
China is seen as both a continental and an oceanic country, with an
18,000-km-long coastline and over 6,500 islands. The Bohai, Huanghai, East, and
South seas, which combine to encircle the Chinese land, form a large water area
that leads to various of the world's oceans. The Chinese nation, which grew up
along the Huanghe and Yangtze rivers, created Chinese civilization by developing
from the land and river to the oceans, greatly pushing forward the development
of the nation as well as the world.
