Probably the oldest continuous civilisation in the world. No prominent AH.commers are from mainland China (yet), though there are members of Chinese descent living in other countries, such as Aozhouhuaren, and more infamously, HelloLegend. There are several Western Sinophiles on the board speaking up for Chinese-focused AH, such as Faeelin and Hendryk.

A running joke on the board is that absolutely everything was invented in China first - not just the usually stated gunpowder, printing, movable type etc., but also exaggeration, censorship, America, imagination and, notably, bears (a fact deduced by Dave Howery). However, they have yet to invent a decent pudding.
