CN — China

China is the world's most populous country and second-largest economy, spanning 9.6 million square kilometers across East Asia. Beijing is the political capital, while Shanghai is the financial center. China's tech ecosystem is massive and largely independent from Western platforms, with companies like Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and ByteDance. The Chinese Yuan (CNY, also called Renminbi/RMB) uses the ¥ symbol, which is shared with the Japanese Yen. For developers, the CN country code maps to zh-CN for Simplified Chinese. The .cn domain is one of the world's most registered ccTLDs, and +86 is the dialing code. China's unique internet environment (the Great Firewall) means applications may need specific adaptations for the Chinese market. Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) differs from Traditional Chinese (zh-TW/zh-HK) in character sets. The ¥ symbol ambiguity with JPY requires contextual currency handling. Chinese addresses follow a large-to-small order (country → province → city → street), opposite to Western convention.
