China (Chinese: 中国 Zhōngguó), officially the People's Republic of China (Chinese: 中华人民共和国 Zhōnghuá rénmín gònghéguó), is a unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist state on the planet Earth. The Chinese Civil War resulted in China being proclaimed the "People's Republic of China" in October 1949 when Mao Zedong chased away Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, where the former Republic of China relocated.
In TMNT[]
The People's Republic of China is featured somewhat regularly in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise in the form of New York City's nine Chinatowns and is the origin of characters, such as Tang Shen, Chung I, Xiang Fei Tong, General Chang, Vam Mi, Fu Sheng, Ho Chan, Sid, and Chi-You. Although Shen is often vaguely portrayed as being Japanese via her close association with Hamato Yoshi, "Tang Shen" is not a Japanese name, but rather of Chinese origin, suggesting she has at least partial, if not full, Chinese heritage. However, Shen's canonical ethnicity is seldom confirmed throughout her various incarnations.
