This seminar aims at giving the students an overview on the
People’s Republic of China. It seeks to provide some keys, which
enable the students to understand contemporary China: landmarks
from a civilization that has endured for many centuries, from the
history, from the human and physical geography, from the
current political and social situation in the country.
The goal is to allow the students to enter the Chinese world.
