What Is a Capital?

A "capital" is a country's most important city, usually the political and administrative center of the nation—the seat of the national government, where the head of state and government agencies work.

A capital represents a country's image, and many foreign embassies are located there. Although many people assume the capital is the largest or most prosperous city,

that is not necessarily the case. For example, the capital of the United States is Washington, D.C., not New York; the capital of Australia is Canberra, not Sydney or Melbourne.

China's capital is Beijing, which is both the political center and a city extremely rich in history and culture. Every country has a capital, used to coordinate national affairs and issue policies and regulations, and it is also an important window for international exchange.
