Chinese cuisine is the most diverse in the world. It easily features about six distinct regional cuisines that are as rich or richer than most national cuisines. Some of my favorite from different regions:

Huge fan of Chinese cuisine; not only my choice of restaurant, but also directly or indirectly present in 75% of my cooking now; and of course Chinese genetics conspire in tandem with European ones to produce the world's best looking woman.
Let's not forget Chinese inventions! I hope that within 50 years China's wonderful aspects will be united with a South Korea like rise to democracy.

I'm pretty sure the current political system is a work in progress. There is no way that a future China with a wealthy and educated population (as all trends point towards) would tolerate the type of system it has today. I don't think China would ever be like a Western liberal democracy, but it'd eventually develop a system with rule of law and more democratic input.

China has also planted the biggest Man made forest in the world, in order to stop desertification and attempt to tame the Gobi from spreading, it is not a very varied forest, and therefore may not stand a chance, but it is quite an achievement nonetheless.

Some of the most obscure regional Chinese cuisine, this is from Shuiyang town in Xuanzhou district in Xuancheng prefecture in southeastern Anhui province.
