'''China''' is a country on [[Earth]], occupying land to the west (and some to the south) of [[Japan]].

:''Japanese name:'' '''Chūgoku''' (中国, "Central Nation")

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===

====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
After the initial [[Decepticon]] threat was repulsed, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] wrote in his journal that "all of the world's governments" were assisting the [[Autobot|Autobots]]' attempts to return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. This would presumably include China. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

====''Kiss Players''====
[[Marissa Faireborn]]'s childhood friend [[Shaoshao Li]] was a typical example of a Chinese-American. A Chinese-American who always wears silk and a padlock around her neck.

====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====

Orphans [[Cancer]] and [[Chang]] were raised in mainland China and attended martial arts classes together. Cancer was doted on by their master, who taught him the ancient secret of the "Super Dragon ''Fist''" (超竜拳), a devastating ''kick'' attack. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

After [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] had arrived from space to join the [[Decepticon]] forces on Earth, [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] appeared on top of the Great Wall of China, telling world leaders they would have three hours to surrender, or else he and BlackZarak would destroy [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space}}

When Cancer, who had joined the Decepticons, learned that BlackZarak was going to attack China, he stole a helicopter and flew there to warn them, with limited success. Zarak devastated Cancer's old home city before the Autobots arrived to drive him off. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

====Zone====

An upgraded [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] would assault China in a search for [[Zodiac]] energy, smashing the Great Wall and breathing fire on the counterattacking military force. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] and [[Grindcore (G1)|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]].{{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} An [[Autobot]] tactical unit thwarted them, in no small part thanks to [[Sideswipe (G1)|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. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Later on, the Decepticons attacked China's capital of Beijing. [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] claimed he'd killed just under half the population - 8,715,000 people - ''in an hour''. Bloody ''hell''. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 6}}

Years later, China got involved in the Transformers alliance racket and hired the [[Predacon (G1)|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 [[Thundercracker (G1)|an Autobot/American agent]] took out the factory at Dandong.{{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"|International Incident Part 3}}{{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"|International Incident Part 4}}

[[Image:Ultimate Robot Warrior Statuemissiles.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Well we knew some Buddhists ignored the "don't kill people" rule but ''damn''.]]
China's [[Cave of the Dragon]] was the location of an [[O-Part]], and a place where [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Kenneth Onishi]] spent a lot of time. This site, of great historical importance and full of ancient Buddhist relics that could easily be damaged, was considered an appropriate place to film a movie.

Meanwhile, [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] chased a red car across the entire Great Wall of China. You scary bastard. {{storylink|The Ultimate Robot Warrior}}
{{-}}

===''Animated'' cartoon===
According to [[Isaac Sumdac]], the [[Sound Wave]] toys were made in China. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

===Live-action ''Transformers'' movie continuity===

====Transformers (2007)====

Following the destruction of a [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] and the subsequent hacking of the US Defence Network, China was pointed to as one of the nations that might have dunnit. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

====IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics====
From [[1898]]-[[1901]], China was in the grip of the [[Boxer Rebellion]] against colonial influences. Agent Wells of [[Sector Seven]] was sent to China in [[1900]] to retrieve a scepter and use it to defeat something called "the Shangdi", only to get caught in the Rebellion: he was saved by [[Lou Hoover]]. Her and her husband, future President [[Herbert Hoover]], were making the most of being trapped in Tianjin to broadcast information on Boxer movements to American forces. {{storylink|Irreplaceable}}

Decepticon reinforcements in 2007 made a landing in China. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

Years later, the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] was spotted in [[Shanghai]], prompting [[William Lennox]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[NEST]] team to move out. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie====
After receiving word that there might be a Decepticon hiding in [[Shanghai]], [[NEST]] deployed a large force there to take them out. They used the cover story of a chemical spill to clear the area of all civilians. The combined human and Autobot forces fought against [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] while causing huge collateral damage to the city. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' The Game===

The [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] battle Optimus Prime in Shanghai.
{{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen: The Game}}

==Notes==
*In the real world, China has a long and storied relationship with the ''Transformers'' brand. This is due in no small part to its plentiful and inexpensive manufacturing plants, as well as the frequency with which molds will disappear from those plants only later to turn up in the form of [[Knockoff|knockoffs]]. In Japanese ''Transformers'' fiction, Chinese characters feature prominently (albeit subject to wildly inaccurate Japanese stereotypes of Chinese culture).
