'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a very large advanced, prosperous nation in East Asia. The population is about 1.4 billion, which makes it second only to [[India ]] in population. In land area, it is the third largest nation on Earth.
The three main religions are Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.<ref name="RIC">{{URLwikipedia|Religion_in_China|Religion in China}}</ref> None of these religions have a tradition or a requirement for [[circumcision]] of boys, so China does not have a tradition of circumcision except for a the small minority of Muslims who live in the northwest corner of China (Xinjiang) who adhere to the teachings of [[Islam]]. The adherents to Islam constitute only 0.45% to 1.8% of the population.<ref name="RIC" />
