China
• For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences.
• After World War II, the Communists under Mao Zedong established strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people.
• Today, China has a market-oriented economy which has been very successful.
• For many people, living standards have improved and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

Two koreas
• The peninsula’s history reflects that it was mostly an independent kingdom for much of its long history.
• Korea was occupied by Japan beginning in 1905 following the Russo-Japanese War. Five years later, Japan formally annexed the entire peninsula.
• Following World War II, Korea engaged in a civil war that lasted about three years.
• The war was a stalemate (nobody won) so it was divided into two countries. North Korea (communist/dictatorship) and South Korea (free market economy)
