| ==History==
| |
| China is one of Earth's oldest civilizations, being thousands of years old by the time humanity had started colonizing other planets.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}

| |
| In [[2004]], [[Dana Awbrey]] fled to China after an [[artificial intelligence]] called the [[Operator]] thrown into the past via a [[Forerunner]] [[Deep-space artifact|artifact]] expressed a desire to kill her.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}<ref>''[[i love bees]]''</ref>

| ===Interstellar humanity===
| |
| 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 an international superpower. The United Nations Space Command has long taken an interest in [[Asia]] for no better reason than its vast size. China has always held a great amount of sway in the UEG, and its position on the world stage did not change when the UNSC gained more power during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. China is overcrowded.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}

| |
| Beijing, a city in the country, is known as a "big media-advertising town". Most people on Earth that work in media or advertising, especially journalists and photographers, live in either Beijing or [[New York City]] in the [[URNA]].{{Ref/Comic|[[Halo Graphic Novel]]|Page=85}}
