Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia, also known as Washington or D.C. or locally simply as the District, is the capital city and federal district of the United States. It is located on the east bank of the Potomac River, which forms its southwestern and southern border with the U.S. state of Virginia, and it shares a land border with the U.S. state of Maryland on its other sides. The city was named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, and the federal district is named after Columbia, the female personification of the nation. As the seat of the U.S. federal government and several international organizations, the city is an important world political capital. It is one of the most visited cities in the U.S., with over 20 million annual visitors as of 2016.

The U.S. Constitution provides for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress; the district is not a part of any U.S. state (nor is it one itself). The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of the capital district located along the Potomac River near the country's East Coast. The City of Washington was founded in 1791, and Congress held its first session there in 1800. In 1801, the territory, formerly part of Maryland and Virginia (including the settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria), officially became recognized as the federal district. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia, including the city of Alexandria; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the district. There have been efforts to make the city into a state since the 1880s, a movement that has gained momentum in recent years, and a statehood bill passed the House of Representatives in 2021.

Jilin Province, referred to as "Ji", is the provincial administrative region of the people's Republic of China and the capital of Changchun. Jilin Province is located in the middle of Northeast China, connected with Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang, bordered by Russia and North Korea, and located in the geographical center of Northeast Asia. By the end of 2017, it had jurisdiction over 8 prefecture-level cities and 1 autonomous prefecture, with a total of 20 county-level cities, 16 counties, 3 autonomous counties and 21 municipal districts. The establishment of Jilin began in the tenth year of Qing Shunzhi (1653). In the 12th year of Kangxi (1673), the Qing government built Jilin City and named Jilin Wula, from which Jilin got its name. Qianlong 22 years (1757), officially changed its name to "Guard Jilin Wula and other places General", referred to as "Jilin General". Jilin Province is a political and military conflict in Modern Northeast Asia
