Wrong amount of UNESCO world heritage sites
 | This edit request to China has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
The article states that China has 57 UNESCO world heritage sites, at the end of the 4th paragraph. In reality, this number should be 59. This is confirmed by the official UNESCO website. I would change it, but I don't have the right permissions to edit the article. ExtragalacticXG (talk) 08:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes: List of World Heritage Sites in China. Can't edit for you since I am using a public computer but added the template so someone else could take care of it. --2600:1700:3ECA:4600:4D9C:4A6D:4978:8DEA (talk) 07:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Outdated language around suicide
Please would you consider removing the term 'committed suicide' and replacing with 'died by suicide' or 'took his own life'? In the section 'History' under 'Ming'.
A bit more info from the Centre for Suicide prevention here: https://www.suicideinfo.ca/local_resource/suicideandlanguage/ No0dlek8 (talk) 16:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- 1) "Died by suicide" implies that suicide is something done to someone instead of something done by them, 2) you can't take your own life, as you already have it. You can only take the life of another. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 20:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Disputing Chongqing's inclusion as a largest city
Like Baqotun003 said, most other countries' largest cities are defined by population, not area. The city proper page points out that listing cities by by surface area can cause controversy, particularly in regards to China, and one of the sources on that page mentions that even though the municipal district of Chongqing has a total population of more than 30 million inhabitants, fewer than 6 million actually live in Chongqing city proper. Depending on which classification is used, Chongqing is sometimes listed as the world's largest city and, in other cases, does not even appear in the top rung of urban population rankings. Thus, to avoid controversy, I think Beijing should be listed as the sole largest city of China. Vesperius (talk) 03:02, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
