	Description:
		Abstract:
			This dataset contains displays povincial political
			boundaries in the People's Republic of China.  Included in
			the data set are province names.
		Purpose:
			The purpose of this dataset is to give geologists and
			other scientists a spatial database of provincial
			boundaries in China.  This data set will be utilized in energy
			research and cartographic projects.
