China is an urban country with a balanced climate. It is bordered by eight countries, which include Afghanistan, Central Asia, India, Kazakhstan, Korea, Pakistan, Russia, and S.E Asia.
Country Information[]
IG Factbook: "For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After World War II, the communists under Mao Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, Mao's successor Deng Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight. Since the early 1990s, China has increased its global outreach and participation in international organizations."

Trivia[]
- There is a special event in which, there is a possibility that the newly elected president Spalin will threaten and nuke China. If the player succeeds they will be able to obtain the achievement Chinese Nuclear Retaliation.
- In Evolution of 16 released in January 2016, the population density[Note 2] value for China was slightly reduced.[2]
- In a news headline, when it is stated that China's trade deficit has narrowed, it has no actual impact on the progression of the game.
- This country becomes rich in the Sovereign Default Scenario.
- In the Ultimate Board Games scenario, the player can have their board game manufatured in China, one of the benefits being that the final product will be less expensive but is likely to face some quality issues. This manufacturing action costs around 20 funds, at least.
- In real life, China is the most populated country in the world, although in Plague Inc. it is the second most populated being passed by India in the game, the reason is that the population of India in the game is made up of several South Asian countries, including Bangladesh, the population of this country is approximately 164.7 million people, which causes the population of India to exceed that of China.
- The location of the City Cam isn't located anywhere in China, instead the picture was taken in the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, located in Tokyo, Japan.
- Both in the PC and mobile version of the game, Mongolia is part of China. But in the Board Game, Mongolia is considered another cold country in Asia.
- The islands of Hainan and Taiwan do not appear in the PC version due to game limitations as certain small islands are not included in the map.[3]
- According to information provided by Ndemic Creations during the 10th anniversary of Plague Inc, China is the most favorite place to start a disease by most players.[4]
- In one of the news headlines of the game, a joke is made about the dispute between China and Japan over the Senkaku/Diayou Islands,[Note 3] in which these uninhabited islands are flooded and disappear, causing the tensions between the two countries to vanish and that diplomats are relieved that this happened. This news headline has no effect on the game.
