From the perspective of the world, few countries can continue to pass on for thousands of years like China. According to relevant records, China has always been very strong in ancient times, and its economy and military are well-deserved center of the world. Many neighboring countries have been influenced by China. Some small countries in Fanbang, in order to survive better, have taken the initiative to join China. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, some Asian countries often sent emissaries to China to worship and honor the Chinese emperor as a heavenly khan. By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, the brave and warlike Mongol Iron Horse, proud of its expansion of territory, constantly went out to fight, they defeated many European countries, and established an empire across Eurasia.
Because of the war, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty constantly raised taxes, causing a serious burden of life for the common people. In the end, the intolerable people overthrew the uprising and overthrew the Yuan Dynasty by means of armed resistance. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang stood out from all the princes, and after winning the final victory, he established the famous Ming Dynasty in history with the support of the military generals of The Wenchen Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he handed over the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunjiao. Zhu Di, the King of Yan, because of Zhu Yunjiao's slashing of the domain, brazenly raised an army under the banner of the Qing Emperor's side and seized the imperial power. In order to promote his majesty, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent a certificate and made many missions to the West, which successively affected more than 30 surrounding countries. After Zhu Di's death, his descendants were inferior to the next generation, and eventually the Qing Dynasty usurped the land of China. During the Qing government, in order to consolidate its position and power, it implemented many policies of ignorance of the people, and at the same time closed the channels of communication with Western countries. In the end, the Qing government missed the development opportunity of the Industrial Revolution and was brutally invaded by Western countries such as Britain.
In this process, the Western powers used force to force the Qing government to sign many unequal treaties and steal large areas of Land from China. So how big is China's current land area? The authorities have given an answer, China's land area is about 9.6 million square kilometers. This number is already well established, but it is only a approximation. If you think it's 9.6 million square kilometers, you're wrong. China's territorial area is actually 9.634 million square kilometers. The 34,000 square kilometres omitted may seem inconspicuous, but in fact it is quite large, almost one-eighth the size of the UK.
