England/China

England/China is a pairing involving the characters England and China.

This pairing is commonly known as IggyChu, taken from the first few syllables of their Japanese nation names (Igirisu and Chuugoku). They are also referred to as Kouchagumi, which means 'Good Tea Pair', since both characters love tea.

Fanfiction shipping this pairing usually deals with the Opium Wars. They are often depicted as bickering (or divorced) parents of Hong Kong, whom they both dote on.

In the webcomics, China often replaces the suffix -aru with -ahen (Japanese word for opium) when conversing with England, as a reference to the Opium Wars.
