Ten Interesting Facts About China You Did Not Know! by Kikkyalibi: 5:50pm On Sep 05, 2018
With China being the most populated country in the world and the third largest country by size, it is expected that the country itself, with over 1 billion citizens, has a vast range of unique facts and interesting culture.


As the president of Nigeria – President Muhammadu Buhari visits this rich country and thereafter, meets with the president of China – President Xi Jinping, we have more of China you need to know.




#1. One In Every Five Humans Alive Today Is Chinese



There are billions of people in the world, and every one of the people in Chinese represents one out of every person in the world. The second country that comes close to that population is India. India has a population of 1.252 billion; still several million short of China.



#2. Using A Pin To Keep Soldier’s Chin Up



We all know soldiers to be focused, full of integrity and obedient to ordersWhile training new soldiers to always keep their chins up, a small, but very sharp pin is placed facing upwards through their collars.




#3. Facebook Banned



One of the most used social networking platform – Facebook has been blocked in China since 2009 and according to the “Blocked in China” website, Facebook is still blocked. Facebook is not blocked in Hong Kong and Macau.



#4. YouTube Blocked



The most popular video search platform and another affiliate of Google – YouTube has also been blocked for almost a decade in China. So if you are gonna visit China, be prepared to stay off these platforms for as long as you are there!





#5. General Birthday(s)



As is the norms and tradition, the most important holiday in China is the Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year and the general Chinese believe is that everyone turns a day older on that day, so it is considered everyone’s birthday. Which is basically so many parties, if not too many parties for one day.



#6. Over 32 million people live in caves and they love it!



Yes! Their way of life is so simple that most of them do not mind carving in their houses into mountains i.e caves, and the houses are aligned in a designed arrangement. Living in caves is partly because of the huge population.



#7. Invention Of Paper Money



Money is definitely a necessity. Who could imagine how spending would look like if paper money was not invented. Well, we have China to thank for that as Paper money was made by the Tang Dynasty in China in 740 B.C. They made the paper money as an offshoot of the invention of block printing. Block printing can be likened stamping.







#8. There’s Only One Time Zone



As large as this country is, which is about the same size as the United States of America, the entire zones share the same time zone. Understandably, each of those large countries has at least 3 time zones, and as many as five. China, on the other hand has only one: Beijing time. And it applies everywhere.



#9[b]. Over 40million Packs Of Instant Noodles Consumed In A Year[/b]



You read it right! The Chinese people eat ramen more than any other country. They have also been doing so for centuries.



#10. President Xi Jinping



Lastly, their current president is the 15th President as the large country has been ruled by Presidents since the year 1924. He was sworn into office in March, 2013.



Also, the government of China just recently invested in African ECOWAS Member States. And this rich country put in alot of money into this recently filed investment.
