China

China was a country on Old Earth, before the rise and fall of the Terran Federation.

It was a nation that mantained its cultural identity from the Terran age of antiquity until the creation of the Terran Federation; unlike the Roman Empire, which succomed to barbarian invasions. Because of this it was an inpiraration to Dr. Adorée Bédard when she sought to create a slowly evolving society on Safehold.

A number of survivors of the Gbaba genocide were of Chinese ancestry, including Pei Kau-yung, Pei Kau-zhi, and Pei Shan-wei.
