No, China’s economy is not richer than the United States when we look at nominal GDP. Nominal GDP means the total value of goods and services a country makes. Right now, the United States has a higher nominal GDP than China. But if we look at something called Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), which compares the cost of living in each country, China’s GDP is bigger than the United States, according to CSIS.
The most mountainous country in the world is Bhutan. The average height of the land in Bhutan is 10,760 feet. About 98.8% of the country is covered by mountains. In the north of Bhutan, there are very high mountains called the Greater Himalayas. The tallest mountain in Bhutan is Gangkhar Puensum, which is 24,840 feet above sea level.
The official language of China is Mandarin, which is also called "Putonghua." More than 70% of people in China speak Mandarin. But China also has other major dialects that people use. These include Yue (also known as Cantonese), Xiang (Hunanese), Min, Gan, Wu, and Kejia (also called Hakka).
Besides world religions and Taoism, people in China also follow Confucianism, Legalism, Judaism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Moism, and many traditional local beliefs. Confucianism has been the main belief system in China for a very long time.
