It's not so simple. In fact it's undescriable, the feelings that we have today. Moving away, made your lips astray, how is our love growing stronger, each and everyday. It's your voice, it's got me tripping, I can't stop missing missing u i just wanna kiss u so bad, the kiss that i never had.

∙ 10y agoChina traded extensively with the West from the 16th century, exporting silk, porcelain, cotton fabrics and tea, receiving in return tens of thousands of tons of silver mined in Spain's American colonies. But its rulers didn't see trade - or specifically, imports of merchandise - as essential given the Empire's size and wealth. They were right to be wary: when the British finally found a good to send to China to pay for their tea purchases, it was opium and it all but wrecked the country, to be followed later in the 19th century by shipments of cheap manufactures which crippled Chinese producers. The imports which had been useful - maize and sweet potato from the Americas - contributed to a doubling of China's population in 150 years: but after the first shipments Chinese farmers could plant and grow their own.

China is a vast country with various different cultures. As such, there is not one food that everyone in China eats. Contrary to popular belief, the Chinese food that people get in North America (ex. crab rangoon, General Tso's chicken, Mongolian beef, etc) are not actually authentic Chinese, but food cooked by Chinese immigrant families intended to cater to Western palates. There are four major cuisines of China: Cantonese Shandong Szechwan Huaiyang Each of them have their own unique style of cooking. Contrary to popular belief, dog and cat meat are not eaten very commonly, and the practise is mainly restricted to certain regions of China. The most eaten meat in China is pork.

For the majority of the duration of Chinese history, China's western borders were filled with small principalities. The majority of them swears allegiance to the Chinese Emperor, but some powerful ones cause troubles every few decades or so. The Chinese never emphasized these relations and the western lands in general, and the emperors generally give all powers on such matters to the governor and military general of the bordering province.
