How many species of insects are known in China?

my country has a vast territory and complex natural conditions. It is the only country in the world that spans two major animal geographical regions. Therefore, it is one of the countries with the largest number of insect species in the world. Generally speaking, my country's insect species account for 1/10 of the world's species. There are 1 million named insect species in the world, and the number of named insects in my country should be around 100,000. However, currently there are only more than 50,000 named insects found in my country, and there is still a long way to go to catch up with the current level of the world. Moreover, there should be 3 to 10 million insect species in the world, so there should be 300,000 to 1 million species of insects in our country. It can be seen that there are still too many new insect species in my country waiting for friends who are interested in studying insects to discover, name and describe them.
