Does Shanghai belong to the north or the south of China?

Question by Emily: Does Shanghai belong to the north or the south of China?
Please don’t tell me it’s central. I mean if I have to categorize it as either north of south. I have been told the dividing line is the Yangtze River but it seems to run thru Shanghai and so I’m not sure.

Why do China and India allow their rivers to be polluted (the Yangtze and the Ganges)?

Question by cancersucks: Why do China and India allow their rivers to be polluted (the Yangtze and the Ganges)?
Raw sewage, pigs blood and a host of other things go ino these rivers unchecked. Waste water is supposed to be treated before it is discharged into rivers.

Question by Dorit-:): Any recommendations for a 2-3 trip starting point Hangzhou, China?
We are planning a trip on the second half on March. We like to travel on our own, no guided tours, possibly meeting with local guides in points of interest.
We are concerned about the weather. Is it too cold for traveling in the area?
We thought about trip on the Yangtze river.
Any recommendations?

2-3 days is not much to visit the Yangtze, but it’s doable.

The other “obvious” choices in that area would of course be Souzhou and Shanghai.

What is the weather like in China for late July to early August?

Question by i dont care for a name: What is the weather like in China for late July to early August?
My family and I are going on a trip to Beijing, Hong Kong, and as well as a few other places like the Great Wall, Yangtze River, and Guangdong province while on this trip. We are going late July and coming back the week of the Olympics (8/5). Does anybody have any suggestions on what we could bring for clothing as well?

Best answer:

Answer by Bob B
summer clothes! it is just as hot, humid as the midwest USA, only it is terribly polluted.

When in Guangzhou, order pizza from Danny’s Pizza. he is a transplanted New Yorker or New Jersey, I forget where, but his pizzas are the best! Stay at the White Swan. Just down the street is a nice American style diner called Lucy’s.

You will love Hong Kong, I hope you are luckier that I, and you get to stay a couple days. The HK airport is incredible.

i just came back from a 2 week trip from china?

Question by : i just came back from a 2 week trip from china?
ok i live in america and just went to china and got back a few days before. so i have a couple of issues right now. im still jetlagged so i have to be able to get over that quickly before school starts in 4 days. i basically wake up at aroun 2 in the morning and go back to sleep and wake up again later and then i cant sleep for about an hour then i end up falling back to sleep and waking up really late. another problem is that i have that weird feeling you get when you get back from a long vacation and you feel weird and out of it. but i cant stand that feeling and i get it all the time considering that i take many big trips. i need help on how to get rid of that feeling and the jet lag but i know that once i came back from a 1 week cruise and the next day school started so i didnt get that feeling at all. but now i know i have to suffer 4 moredays but im gonna go to a different school and thats also bringing me more pressure. so i really wanna get rid of both the jet lag and the weird feeling so i can enjoy the last 4 days before a long school year starts instead of suffer them. and i have absolutly no idea on what catagory this should be in so it might be really stupid.
and im also having trouble sleeping cuz its day there when its night here so any tips on that?

Answer by chen2001md
“Not eating for 12-16 hours can help people quickly reset their sleep-wake cycle, according to a new study from the Harvard Medical School. This discovery can drastically improve a person’s ability to cope with jet lag or adjust to working late shifts.

Scientists have long known that our circadian rhythm is regulated by our exposure to light. Now they have found a second “food clock” that takes over when we are hungry. This mechanism probably evolved to make sure starving mammals don’t go to sleep when they should be foraging for food.”

You could give it a try. Although I have always gotten jet let over on the plane by just not sleep at all, then when I arrive in the states, I am so tired that I pass out right away. Of course, it is always harder to get over it when you come back to the United States because you are “not loosing” anytime when you come back. Good luck.

Question by American Noodle: Hey, Patriotic, Braved, Social conservatives: Y is Faux News owner living in China when China = Threat to US?
From Mike Mount
CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Chinese military continues to increase spending on efforts to break into U.S. military computer systems, expand its Navy, and invest in intercontinental nuclear missiles and weapons to destroy satellites, according to the latest U.S report on China’s military power.
———————————–

By ADAM ENTOUS

WASHINGTON—The Pentagon voiced alarm over China’s military buildup, saying it was expanding its advantage over Taiwan and investing heavily in ballistic and cruise missile capabilities that could one day pose a challenge to U.S. dominance in the western Pacific.

In its annual report to Congress on Chinese military capabilities, the Pentagon also cited China’s advances in electronic warfare. The U.S. government has been the target of cyber intrusions the report says appear to have originated in China and aimed to steal military secrets. “These intrusions focused on exfiltrating information, some of which could be of strategic or military utility,” the report said.

I’m a bit terrified of needles. I havent had any shots since kindergarten so I don’t know if that effects it.

Thanks!
