China
China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a major nation-state on Earth, the heir to thousands of years of civilization.
Fiction[edit | edit source]
The Han Dynasty ruled over China for 400 years until 221 BC. Revolutionaries #1 timeline
In the mid-2000s, Straxus and Grindcore attacked China's Jiangxi Province, intending to strip-mine its Ultra-Energon (and the rest of Earth's Ultra-Energon) to help the Expansion. Spotlight: Doubledealer An Autobot tactical unit thwarted them, in no small part thanks to Sideswipe hitting them over and over. Straxus and Grindcore ceased to function with the failure of Nova Prime's plan, and presumably crumbled into dust. Spotlight: Sideswipe
In 2008, the Decepticons attacked China's capital of Beijing. Skywarp claimed he'd killed just under half the population—8,715,000 people—in an hour. All Hail Megatron #6
Years later, China got involved in the Transformers alliance racket and hired the Predacons to defend its borders from other Transformers and hostile nations; it was paid them with artificially-created Energon. The Predacons were dispatched when an Autobot/North Korea conflict was getting too close to the Chinese border, but the nation lost their Energon-manufacturing ability when an Autobot/American agent took out the factory at Dandong.

When Transformers returned to Earth after a long absence, China was one of the factions that contributed to the Earth Defense Command's arsenal of countermeasures.

When Optimus Prime declared Earth his protectorate, the People's Liberation Army Mecha Force, led by Pilot (First Class) Zilong Qian, responded. Qian led eighteen transforming jets reverse-engineered from Cybertronian technology in an attack on a group of Transformers in Shanghai, driving them off. Once Upon a Time on Earth Following the engagement, the President of the United States allowed the PLA Mecha Force to operate on U.S. soil as part of a grander alliance. New Worlds Order With the later reorganization and folding of the EDC into G.I. Joe, Zilong Qian himself became a member of G.I. Joe. The Modern World Qian wondered in private, though, if his membership in G.I. Joe was merely a token reassurance that G.I. Joe would not be as U.S.-centric as Skywatch and the EDC.

During the Revolution crisis, Director Pauline Bestley of the Action Man Programme noted that the United States and China were the only two countries to officially possess alien technology. The Modern World
