Using quotes correctly


China is a large country found in Asia. “China has 1/5 of the worlds population” [1] China is also the fourth largest country. China has a couple major cites but the two most popular are; Shanghai and the capitol Beijing. Their “population is 1,343,239,923 (July 2012).”[2] China’s government is communist but from the interviews I had, it wasn’t as bad as I seemed. The interviewees said they weren’t aloud to really say anything bad about the government without some consequences, but they still seem somewhat free. Compared to the way communism is portrayed. China also celebrates many different festivals and holidays. Two major holidays are New Years and Spring festival.  New Years is the time when debts are settled and houses are cleaned. Time is also spend with family and friends. “People honor the "God of Wealth", hoping he will bring great fortune to the family in the coming months.” [3]
