Introduction:China is one of the most developed nations in the world today with one of the oldest cultures.The country is popularly referred to as the ‘Middle Kingdom’ by most of its citizens out of pride. The people of the country have named it ‘Zhonggou’ in their local language which means ‘Middle Kingdom’ or ‘Central Kingdom’ when translated into English.

The incessant growth of the population has impacted the progress of the economy of the country adversely [ CITATION Bra07 \l 3
