| When people say Asia, the first thing that would pop in their heads is China (Much to the other [[Asians]] dismay). China as we all know, is one of the [[Old Ones|''Oldest As Fuck Civilizations'']] that is still flexing their Geopolitical muscles, with a history that spends over ''5000 years'' and is still kicking. How old are they? they were already making high city walls and Empires when the Glorious [[Roman Empire|Romans]] were still living in mud huts, yeah that fucking old. Only the likes of the Egyptian Dynasties, Mesopotamia, Babylonian Empire, India and other early Middle-Eastern/Euro-African Empires rivaled or surpasses it in sheer age. Furthermore, unlike most civilizations which had one Golden Age in its lifetime, China had ''Three Golden Ages''. However unlike the others listed (With the exception of India) who unfortunately suffered the common symptoms of civilization heart attacks, coronary barbarian infections or outright absorptions, China and to some extent India manage to survive by sheer isolation. China is also known for their [[Emprah|Celestial Dragon Emprahs]], multiple imperial Dynasties, overpoweringly influential, being too unusually advance for their age for nearly 2000 years, "Four Great Inventions" (Compass, Gunpowder, Paper and Printing), Confucius, martial arts, Chinese New Year and now recently [[Communism|Communists]] [[Fail|or manufacturing everything you buy in ''very, very'' poor quality.]]

| On a much more unfortunate note, [[Eldar|China was also known as being a bunch of incredibly Arrogant and Egoistical Cockhats with a ''massive'' Superiority Complex that made even the Stiff Upper-Lip British look tame in comparison. In a more simplified note, they viewed themselves and their civilization as the, "Center of the Universe and only civilization on the planet, that is unfortunately surrounded by filthy uncivilized barbarians and animals that want to pillage China because their soooooo jealous of our cultural enlightenment and achievements". Tl;dr sounds fucking familiar to you?]]

| ==Chinese Analogues in Fantasy==
| |
| Due to its exoticism and age, there are a couple of Chinese inspired Empires in Fantasy.
| |
|
| |
| *[[Eldar]] - Despite having weapons like Shuriken Catapults and Celtic names, the Eldar is actually more Chinese inspired. Examples include the cultural and historical arrogance, being incredibly advance for their Era, martial arts, being fantastic racists to everyone else and the obvious Yin-Yang symbols in some of the Eldar artworks.
| |
| *[[Cathay]] - Based on the old name for China, this is deliberate and perfect example.
| |
| *Dynasty Warriors - A series of Video Games based solely on the Chinese mythology and legends, expect a lot oversexualised women since the games was created in Japan.
| |
| *Jade Dynasty - similar to Dynasty Warriors, but in MMO style.
| |
| *[[Lord of the Rings|Easterlings]] - The Movies depicted them as Persians with Chinese influence, while GW based most of their models on Samurais.
