| ===Interstellar humanity===
| | By the 26th century, China remains one of Earth's major superpowers. China invested heavily in [[Human colonies|interstellar colonization]] during [[human]]ity's Colonial Era, starting many colonies which would later be integral to supplying the [[UNSC]] war effort. Despite this, the country remains overcrowded.<ref name="ENC">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''pages 296-297'' (2011 edition)</ref> |
| When humanity first began to colonize other worlds, China was one of the most enthusiastic and effective colonizing forces. Many of the vital resource colonies that would eventually supply the [[UNSC]] war effort were initiated by Chinese efforts.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}

China is overcrowded.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}
