  • Information about China - Everything by Yiming Hu Imperial China issued stamps from 1878 to 1949 when it split into the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan). Conflict between Nationalists and Communists led to the long march of 1934-1935 with the Communists moving to northwest China under Mao Tse Tung. The Nationalists were defeated by Mao and withdrew to Taiwan in 1949...  The British colony of Hong Kong, on 1 July 1997, and Macau, on 20 Dec. 1999, have returned to the People's Republic of China - Taiwan (old Formosa) continues to resist.

    Development and Prospect of China Post
    - An introductin by Liu Liqing, Postmaster General of State Post Bureau, China
    There is a long history of China Post, with over 3,000 years of national post, over 500 years of private post and more than 100 years of contemporary national post.

The Post department made full use of the advantages of "Unity of Post and Telecommunications" and "Unity of Post and Newspapers & Periodicals Service", restoring and developing national post network and post offices, promoting wide-range services through hard work and self-reliance, which has promoted the steady and healthy development of China Post. Despite the interruptions and setbacks during the development, China Post has ensured the message-delivery of all departments of our party, government and national economy as well as people's requirements by relying on the socialist system and the diligence and hard work of our post workers. ...
