On the southern side, Lu Rong-ting, the Guangxi militarist, maneuvered to extend his power; Sun Yat-sen and his supporters in the navy had landed in Canton for yet another attempt at power; and in Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and elsewhere other warlords were on the outlook for the main chance. Reunification by mere coalition among these ambitious men was the dream of all, but, as all hoped to head the coalition and gain the lion’s share of its spoils, all such schemes were doomed. en October 3, 2013 Giant Hornets Kill Dozens in China w:The New York Times https://web.archive.org/web/20131006150930/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/04/world/asia/crews-seek-to-destroy-hornets-that-have-killed-dozens-in-china.html 0362-4331 1645522 Asia Pacific Hornet attacks have been reported elsewhere in China as well.

Next to the Han Chinese, the Chuang are China’s largest ethnic group. That surprises people. Most people would think it was the Manchus, or the Uigurs, or the Mongols, or the Tibetans. But in 1990 there were 15 million Chuang in China, compared to 10 million Manchus, 7 million Uigurs, 5 million Mongols, and 4.5 million Tibetans. Since most of China’s 15 million Chuang live in Kuanghsi, hence the province’s distinction as the Kuanghsi Chuang Autonomous Region. on en May 19, 2022 Marisa Iati In a massive sinkhole, scientists find a secret forest https://web.archive.org/web/20220519201054/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/19/sinkhole-forest-china/ 19 May 2022 Asia At the bottom of a sinkhole, ancient trees stretch nearly 130 feet high.
