China can be formed by any Chinese nation that has Beijing or Cantonese primary culture or any Manchu nation with Jurchen primary culture, once they have acquired 
Administrative Technology Level 76. This also means that any Chinese Imperial dynasty (including the Manchu Qing dynasty) can theoretically form China if they can survive long enough. The only exception to this rule is 
Yuan, which has Mongol primary culture and thus cannot form China without culture-shifting.
China has no unique National Ideas and if formed by decision, it will inherit the National Ideas from the nation that founded it.

History[]
Whereas all of the preceding imperial dynasties were simply successive governments that ruled over the region and people of China across the ages, with "China" being an abstract concept referring to that geographic region and its population. China as a nation represents a consolidation of the concept of "China" into an actual nation-state with defined borders and population.
The name China comes from a western corruption of the Qin (pronounced Chin) dynasty to Chin-a.

Strategy[]
Present Day[]
China starts off in an extremely powerful position in terms in geography, military, and economy. In fact, as China, you are the strongest country in the entire Old World itself, only being tied to the 
United States in terms of power and you have greater development than them. The United States usually won't be a threat to you due to the fact that they are so far away, the closest territory the Americans have is Guam and the fact that China has comparable power to them. The most immediate threats to China are Russia and 
India, but don't be too threatened by them. Their military strength is nothing compared to yours, and the two countries tend to fall apart in most games. Russia is actually quite an easy target if you attack them once they go to war against 
Ukraine while India can likewise be lured into a war with a third party and opportunistically attacked, although be aware that India is more powerful than Russia economically and militarily. Conquering the Indian subcontinent is especially lucrative as India has the second-highest development after China, allowing you to greatly expand your economy and simultaneously remove one of the only comparable powers in the region.
