Appearance
Full Article: Uniform Guide: China

China primarily appears as a man of fair skin, amber eyes and black hair. Himaruya has stated that his height is 169 cm, or about 5'6.5 inches tall, making him the shortest member of the Allied Forces. Typically he is seen wearing his hair in a ponytail and wearing a typical, green, Chinese uniform with a red band with a star design on it. On occasion he has seen to have a panda in a bamboo basket on his back that accompanies him.

It is mentioned that China also bears a scar given to him by Japan

Personality
As one of the oldest nations China brings it upon himself to act as an elder brother to the younger Asian nations and his disciples (the provinces), though he seldom is treated as one and has little control over them. Much like America, China does enjoy being and charge and receiving what he wants. One of his most prominent characteristics is that he ends his senteces with "-aru" (a Japanese stereotype of the Chinese). When conversing with England however, it has been shown that he ends his sentences with "-ahen" (opium) as he still holds a grudge against him since the Opium War.

Relationships
Japan

Upon Japan's years of being a new nation, China discovered him as he appeared as a child with no caretaker and subsequently took him in and raised him as a brother - to which Japan rejected. Japan eventually betrayed China in an effort to initiate war and injured China - leaving a scar, and broken relationship to this day.

Russia

In spite of the fact that the two nations  have maintained a generally close relationship with eachother throughout the years, China is extremely suspicious and weary of him. In one case it was shown Russia had been stalking China while in the guise of a panda.

Korea

Korea tends to constantly China by claiming he is the originator of many inventions and is the elder brother of both him and Japan.
