EteläKiina

EteläKiina is a term that can refer to several geographical and political entities within or related to China. Most commonly, it translates to "South China" and encompasses the southern regions of the People's Republic of China. This vast area includes provinces such as Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan, and Guangxi, as well as parts of Yunnan and Guizhou. The climate in EteläKiina is generally subtropical to tropical, characterized by warm temperatures and abundant rainfall, supporting diverse ecosystems and agricultural production, particularly rice, fruits, and tea. Historically, EteläKiina has been a significant cultural and economic hub, with major cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen playing crucial roles in trade and development. The region is also known for its distinct dialects and cultural traditions, differing from those in the north.

In a broader context, "EteläKiina" might also be used to discuss areas historically or culturally linked to Southern China, even if they are no longer under direct PRC administration. This could sometimes include discussions related to Taiwan, due to historical and cultural ties, though its political status is distinct and complex. The term's precise meaning often depends on the specific context in which it is used, whether in geographical, historical, or political discussions. Economically, EteläKiina is a powerhouse, contributing significantly to China's overall GDP through manufacturing, trade, and its strategic coastal locations.
