China is the third largest country in the world and is located in eastern Asia. Its capital is Beijing. Tibet is also located in China.
Muggle world
China is one of the richest and fastest growing powers in the Muggle world.
In July 1996, The Guardian reported that the then-current Dalai Lama was given the Congressional Gold Medal of Honour by the United States, which China objected to strongly,[1] presumably due to the Tibetan sovereignty issue.
Wizarding world
Jixi may have had a community of note in the wizarding world, as the Daily Prophet reported on its weather in its international section. Also, many different wand woods are from here, for instance, Redwood trees grow here, as well as in North America.
Sleekeazy's Hair Potion is manufactured in China.
In 2010, the Chinese National Quidditch team participated in the 2010 Quidditch World Cup. The final was between China and Moldova, with Moldova winning 750 to 640. The match lasted three days, and it was widely held to have produced some of the finest Quidditch seen this century.[2]
Magical history
Cho Chang, a love interest of Harry Potter, is presumably of Chinese heritage.
Famous wizards hailing from China include the alchemist Dzou Yen and Magic Creature Specialist Quong Po. China is also the native range of the Phoenix, the Chinese Fireball, the Yeti, and the Chinese Chomping Cabbage.
