them apart. The United States has had a long standing policy of being against communism because it oppresses the people of that nation; however they can not ignore such a large nation with so many people. While this country has survived through most of the other communist governments falling into oblivion this one seems to be prospering with or with out the support of the United States government.

The people’s republic of china was established in October 1, 1949. Since then they have managed to establish one of the most storied histories in the world however they didn’t just arise from nowhere they are in fact the oldest state in the world being established in 221 B.C. They have much more history that began before the People’s Republic of China came to power. While they have one of the only man made structures that can be seen from outer space in the Great Wall of China they have also had the samurai warriors as well as being the oldest state in the world. But the more recent history is what I am interested in things such as the modern state. The development of the modern state started around World War I when china sided with the allies. At this point they were still Republican China, which was in power from 1911 to 1949. They had been on the side of the Americans during World War I but when they were double crossed by the Allies who broke a promise to return German concessions that were in china.

It is suspected that the Chinese government covered up the problem in the beginning of the outbreak hoping to cover it up before it became a crisis. They apparently tried to keep the breakout inside the country while trying to find a cure for it; however, the cure was not found and the virus got out of china and spread into other countries. While the virus first appeared in November of 2002 it was covered up for months with the Chinese government only coming out a few weeks ago admitting that they had a problem with the virus that they obviously could not control.
