==Size==
To anticipate discussion: yes, I know [[Russia]] is also in [[East Asia]], and that Russia is larger than China. However, 'East Asia' tends to refer to China, the two [[Korea]]s, [[Japan]] and the south-eastern states like [[Thailand]]; Russia is not culturally part of this, and [[Russian people]] are mostly not [[Asian people]]. In any case most of Russia's on the other side of the [[Eurasia]]n continent. But rewrite if you want... [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 04:21, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
==Bias==
I've tried to be even-handed in starting this article (for the record, I've had friends in the PRC as well as Taiwan, and I live in Japan). You may think it brushes past the human rights issues too much, or that it makes nice too much with the Communists, etc. Alternatively, you may think it's too critical. Others are welcome to hack away at it. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 04:37, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
:The human rights abuses are already recognized by the House and Department of State report, so it's not controversial to include them. [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 13:51, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
::I don't think we should make this a U.S.-Centric concept.  I recommend we tread carefully over this issue to illustrate the most factually accurate viewpoint possible.--[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 13:56, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
==Name==
The question is whether this will concern everything about the PRC, or only its history and politics.  If everything, then the article should be continuous with the [[China]] article.  If not everything, then we ought to make a statement to that effect near the top of the talk page. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 10:02, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
== merge ==
Every major country has gone through many regine changes but they are all covered in the same article-- Russia, France, Britain, India etc. It is hard to see why this is somehow separate from the [[China]] article? [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 19:08, 7 December 2007 (CST)
== unencyclopedic ==
the article is not encyclopedic and is not up to CZ quality.  (try outlining it) -- it is a disorganized essay that jumps from topic to topic, and gets itself mixed up with China. [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 15:23, 8 December 2007 (CST)
::still no improvement. I dropped the vague section about unnamed Asian countries.  Next to go will be the weak section on UK that says little about the Honk Kong issue[[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 00:53, 10 December 2007 (CST)
== merge into China ==
there is no need for this as a separate article. [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 21:40, 16 February 2008 (CST)
Oh yes there is. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 13:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
