China is the world's third- or fourth-largest country in area, so the climate is extremely diverse. It is tropical in the south to subarctic in the north.
This is the map for the average annual precipitation of China (Drawn by Alan Mak in March, 2006). We can see precipitation varies regionally even more than temperature. China south of the Qinling mountains experiences abundant rainfall, most of it coming with the summer monsoons.
In coastal area, there is lots of rainfall every year in spring and summer. Coincidently, that area also is economic developed region. Most people who are living that area are middle class.
