China

The eastern hemisphere of planet Earth, including China, India and Australia in 2154

China was a country that existed on Earth before the formation of the United Earth Government. It was also a term for a large geographical area in Asia. China bordered against several other Earth nations, among them Russia, Mongolia, and Korea. The people and culture specific to China was referred to as Chinese.

The Great Wall of China was constructed in the 3rd century BC. (VOY: "11:59")

In 1932 seven women fell victim to the Redjac entity in Shanghai, the major port in this country. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")

In 2268 the situation on Neural reminded Captain Kirk of Earth's 20th century Brush Wars, and the Kohms of Omega IV reminded him of Asian communists. (TOS: "A Private Little War", "The Omega Glory")

In 2293 Spock stated that the Vulcans have a proverb: "only Nixon could go to China." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

In 2364 Captain Picard presented planetary ruler Lutan with a Sung dynasty horse statue on the occasion of the USS Enterprise-D's visit to Ligon II. (TNG: "Code of Honor")

In 2365 Picard, commenting on the hitherto indeterminate location of Iconia, reminded Wesley Crusher that China, too, had been thought a myth until Marco Polo reported his own journey there. (TNG: "Contagion")

Background

Early drafts of Star Trek: First Contact were to have said that China was a leading member of the Eastern Coalition in the Third World War, but it was decided that politics didn't really matter to the story, so the lines were cut.
