History

China has long been the locus of odd phenomenon. One million years ago, the aliens of K'un L'un came to live there. Early on, they encountered their plant-like enemies.

The Missing Link lived in what later became China.

A group of Lemurians fleeing the sinking of their continent made it to the coast of the Thurian continent. They were enslaved by the natives, but would later defeat their masters and force them to flee. These fleeing masters became the Stygians and later the pre-Arab Egyptians. The Lemurians became the Khitains.

Khitai became the source of much attention during the Hyborian Age. Paiking was an important city. Yag-Kosha, an extraterrestrial, came to live there. Jong Tsak became a noted mercenary. During the Hyborian Age, a figure claiming to be Death appeared to Conan in Khitai (forerunners of the Chinese). He dismissed this as an imposter. He would later encounter the Great Wall of Khitai, a forerunner to the Great Wall of China, as well as a Yeti-ish creature. His son Conn later married a Khitain woman. Princess Noyo of Khitai served the Primal Gods.

The Talismans of Power originated in ancient China.

Centuries ago, aliens including Fin Fang Foom crashed to Earth in China. Their technology later fell into the hands of the Mandarin.

The Great Wall of China was built to keep out Grogg and other dragons.

The people of Khitai worshipped such deities as Tou-Mou, Cheng-Ho, Shou-Lao, and Lei-Kung. They must also have come into contact with K'un L'un, the society of aliens with similarly named denizens.

Fu Manchu, the notorious outlaw, claims to be about 3000 years old, as he claims the pyraminds were built for him.

Skaka Karn was a prominent soldier in China's past.

Yu Huang met with other deities around 1000 CE.

1000 years ago, the Chinese man Kan encountered the N'Garai.

The Four Winds were founded in the 11th century CE.

300 years ago, Chinese sorcerers found the Heart of Darkness.

In the 1800's Ultimo landed in China.

The Yellow Claw, a Chinese mastermind who seems to have gained power through the Pool of Blood connected to Orphelus, travelled to the US as early as 1941.

Fu Manchu, the famous criminal, began his offensive against many law enforcement agencies, taking part in a kidnap attempt on the League of Nations, meeting with his group the Si-Fan in Egypt to announce the molding of a new agent with the mind of Jack the Ripper, as well as other struggles.

In the 1590's, China participated in the Seven Year War. Toyotomi Hid-yoshi, Kwang-Che Yu, Sunuk, Yi Sunsin, and Kobukuson figured in this struggle.

During the 1930's to the 1940's the State Shinto Imperialists of Japan attacked China. Shiro Ishii carried out brutal experiments. The Vision and Blazing Skull represented Chinese secret societies. Rebels such as Red Wolf and the US's Leatherneck Raiders also opposed the State Shinto Imperialists.

Zhuang Hu fought with Chiang-Kai Shek before becoming a member of HYDRA.

A Chinese scientist named Doctor Sun fell victim to an experiment when denounced during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960's.

Tibet and or the Himalyas or Himalayan Mountains have played parts in the history of the Cold People, Lizard Men, Blazing Skull, Vision, Thin Man, Dr. Strange, Dr. Druid, Doctor Doom, the Aged Ghenghis, the Ancient One, and the Undying Ones. Fu Manchu trained in Tatsienlu, Tibet. Minya Konka Mountain saw the site of the Rache Churan, the Monastery of Fear. There he learned martial arts, botany, medicine, and hypnotism. Thugben Sung runs the monastery now.
