Mining in China

If someone has time, at the very least, Wiki needs a barebones Mining in China page as a one-stop shop linking to the existing coverage of Gold mining in China, Coal in China, &c. Better still if it could link to historical coverage, often hidden in subsections of pages like Technological and industrial history of China that people wouldn't necessarily expect to exist.

If someone has a lot of time, the "Technological and industrial history" article just mentioned barely even covers as far back as 1950. It patently needs to be moved to a page about the PRC or greatly expanded...—LlywelynII 07:59, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Capital controls in China

• Please create an article on capital controls in China. I have a lot of friends who regularly do business in China and tell me about the difficulty of withdrawing assets.

Beggars in China or Begging in China

I was going to start on article on this topic and wondering if anyone was located in China and might be willing to take some pictures of beggars. Not sure if this would be disrespectful or not though, so this would have to be addressed first. I was particularly looking for the following: Mothers using or having kids with them to beg, kids by themselves with signs writing about their troubles, injured or amputee beggars, people performing music or other things to get money, beggars who are faking injury to get sympathy (in wheelchairs or on crutches) and any other general beggar pictures or homeless/mentally ill people. I know this sounds like a strange request but I think it's an important topic and a picture tells a thousand words right...Anyone in China currently and willing to help out? Dounai (talk) 19:45, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

I'll take a photograph if I get a chance. Λυδαcιτγ 07:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

I'd be interested in helping out with the articles if this is ok with you. I had this idea several years ago but never followed through with it. I can't help with pictures but can help with research and writing if you'd like. Let me know because it's a very depressing phenomena in China that needs to be talked about more. Thanks and look forward to talking more with you.Notgoingtotellyou (talk) 18:14, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Well, to be honest i have never seen beggars in china, i always thought that begging wasn't allowed. Some one here said something about people in guizhou sleeping outside under awnings, that doesn't make them beggars, that does happen since those areas are really hot and people don't always have air conditioners so would sleep out side where it would be cooler.Huaxiazidi (talk) (UTC)

Moving categories

Hi, I feels that the some of the articles within Category:Chinese television series should move to Category:Television series set in China due to various users' mistakes of seeing the former as a category of setting.

Dai River (China)

The encyclopedia lacked an article on this river, and I'm lazy (XD) so I shall request this article here. Revolution1221 (talk · email · contributions) 02:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I have created a stub article for this river. Information is not easy to find on it on the internet - I found a journal article on erosion that was helpful, I suggest other people looking to flesh the article out may want to use Google Scholar as well.

Xu Shiying

There's an article on Chinese political leader Xu Shiying that has been mostly blank since it was first created in May 2012. The article is bothering me as he appears to be quite significant, but I don't have much knowledge on this topic. I've added the WikiProject China banner to it -- I was wondering if someone expand the article, perhaps by translating the Chinese language version of the same article (http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/許世英)? Thanks! The Giant Purple Platypus (talk) 10:23, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Translation of the Chinese language wiki article would be counterproductive. The article only has one non-print source, which does little more than outline the fact that he was a politician and was involved in a railroad scandal. Fleshing this out will either involve tracking down print versions of the Chinese sources present in the other article and verifying their accuracy, or doing new research for other sources. TI.

Some issues mentioned here with some edits to the district's recent history. Some could use sourcing and others need to be reformatted.

Erjingtiao chili peppers

Hi! Could someone make an article about èrjīngtiáo làjiāo (simplified Chinese: 二荆条辣椒; traditional Chinese: 二荆條乾辣椒)? I would really love to know more and write about this variety of Sichuan chili peppers myself, but English sources are hard to find. Commons has a category (commons:Category:Erjingtiao chili), and it would also be really nice if someone could post a photo of fresh erjingtiao chili peppers.

I was on the 28 generals of the Cloud Terrace article and I noticed that there were three generals mentioned on that page that had pretty sizable Chinese articles but were missing an English article entirely. Those being Jia Fu, Kou Xun, and Cen Peng. It would be greatly appreciated if I could read about them on here without having to rely on machine translation.
