'''1. [[Role of the environment in China]]'''
 
 
The environment plays a humongous role in China. Since the majority of its population are farmers, its rivers allow for rich soil and efficient agriculture. The two largest rivers that flow through China are the Yellow river (Hwang He) and the Yangtze (Yangzi). Most of Chinese agriculture and farming is done in the basins of these huge rivers, originating in the Tibetan Plateau in the East and flowing West to China.  In the North, the land is mostly flat and its soil is rich and well suited for farming. The staple crops of the North include wheat, corn, millet, and soybeans. These staples act as a backbone for local Chinese economies when they are sold. Southern China, a region with it soil saturated by the waters of the river Yangtze is hillier, warmer, and more humid than the North, allowing agriculture to flourish. Northeastern China brings humidity and rain forests. Wild animals such as deer, reindeer, and tigers can inhabit these rain forest and can be hunted for consumption or sale.
