Q1: Why is this article about the People's Republic of China?
A1: "China" is overwhelmingly used to refer to the People's
Republic of China rather than the Republic of China in both the Chinese and English languages. For relevant policy details, see WP:COMMONNAME.
Q2: Why is the Chinese government not described as "authoritarian" (or by similar terms) in the infobox?
A2: A community consensus was reached which overwhelmingly opposed the inclusion of the term "authoritarian" and similar terms in the infobox (see archived discussion). However, this question may be revisited in the future.
This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Should the signficance of the Senkaku Islands be discussed, it seems that Japan has had more scrambles between 2014 and the present than it had in the years prior. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.242.176.66 (talk) 22:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the Senkaku Islands deserve more than a passing mention given this article's scope. This is a generally summary of the People's Republic of China and relevant subtopics, not an exhaustive one. Yue🌙02:00, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove that Arunachal Pradesh is chinas claimed property in the info box in the map . It is clearly a part of Indian territory. Just because some one claims it doesn’t mean it is their property . Please remove the disputed words . China claims land of all countries at its borders anyways . 122.161.73.79 (talk) 06:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that China has 57 UNESCO world heritage sites, at the end of the 4th paragraph. In reality, this number should be 59. This is confirmed by the official UNESCO website. I would change it, but I don't have the right permissions to edit the article. ExtragalacticXG (talk) 08:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please would you consider removing the term 'committed suicide' and replacing with 'died by suicide' or 'took his own life'? In the section 'History' under 'Ming'.
1) "Died by suicide" implies that suicide is something done to someone instead of something done by them, 2) you can't take your own life, as you already have it. You can only take the life of another. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 20:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
