NORTH KOREA

North Korea is an independent communist country, but

since the break up of the Soviet Union it has lost many

of its trading partners and is now very poor. However, the

country has a good education system and a high literacy rate.

Schooling is free and compulsory for all children for 10 years. SOUTH KOREA

South Korea is a democratic nation with a thriving

electronics and machinery industry. A quarter of the

population lives in or near the capital city, Seoul.

The Internet developed quickly in South Korea and

today almost 90 percent of the population use it, with

the highest Internet connection speed in the world.

BEAUTY OF TAIWAN

Taiwan’s mountainous

countryside is famous for its

natural beauty, scenic lakes,

and many ornate Buddhist

temples. This peaceful

environment contrasts

sharply with Taiwan’s

capital city, Taipei, which

is one of the fastest

growing cities in Asia.

CHINESE INDUSTRY

After the revolutionary leader

Mao Zedong died in 1976, China’s

economy opened up. Industry and

manufacturing was encouraged

and today China plays a big part in

the global economy. Many people are

moving into cities for better-paid jobs.

MODERN SHANGHAI

China’s largest city is Shanghai. More

than 23 million people live in this

wealthy east-coast port. International

trade has transformed Shanghai’s

skyline, which is now crowded with

high-rise buildings and modern

shopping malls. The center of town

still has some old western-style

buildings that have survived from

the days before the revolution.

The majority of the

Chinese population lives

in just 15 percent of the

total land area.
