There are 22 provinces with Taiwan considered the 23rd.
Economic growth in 2010 was >10% and PRC GDP passed Japan to become the second largest economy behind the USA. China will be the world's largest economy by 2015.

Design is
A definition of design from "Test Generation for VLSI Chips" [ieee press], :
"Design links the abstract specifications to the physical device through a synthesis or assembly of known parts and generates data necessary to drive the equipment that physically produces the assembly."
The first step in becoming a designer is learning how to use an assembly of known parts. The background necessary comes from the BSEE degree. The assignment of known forms, also a design function, comes next. I started with input-output drivers like everyone else. Then I learned how to design an inverter, a dissipative structure far from thermodynamic equilibrium.
We built each inverter from the transistors; none started life as a blank slate but almost. The level of design abstraction for circuit designers was the single MOSFET transistor.

I'm Not Anxious, I'm Insane
Cognitive behavioral therapy is good and gets good results. Good follows good but it only goes so far. In the limit, rational choosers will eventually tire of the confusion and admit that going farther crosses a line of demarcation.
The demarcation problem Karl Popper drew separated the real from the not real. Things not real could never penetrate the veil. But what about my brain states while reading "The Mists of Avalon". Neural correlates of conciousness about The Lady of the Lake.
In my constant life, regulating temperature I bound mortal phenotype, a line of demarkation
I bound extended phenotype without loss of generality.
By meets and bounds I claim the holon, the string, Papa Legba, The Navigator, The Warrior, The Scribe, Big Man, Big Mama.
By Twain I leave color, or remove it from my site. I remove the color from your world as I break you down. I add my color as I build you up. This is a fabulous rebuilding I do for you. Old aches and pains are traced to their root. Your anxiety increases as you realize.
How very, very little you know about this subject. Any subject. The suchness. I regulate.
