China is a pavilion located within World Showcase in [[Epcot]]. It is located between the [[Norway]] and [[Germany]].
==History==
During the initial planning of World Showcase, two communist countries were interested in sponsoring their own pavilion- the Soviet Union and China <ref name= "jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2012/02/china_pavilion_part_one_1.html </ref>. Unlike the USSR which wanted to integrate the ideals of communism into their pavilion, China was willing to showcase its history and culture without involving ideology <ref name= "jack"/>. In order to help showcase the diversity of China, plans for the pavilion called for a CircleVision 360 film called [[Wonders of China]] to be filmed. To create the movie, Disney entered negotiations with Chinese government over where they could and could not film <ref name= "Spence2"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2012/02/china_pavilion_part_two.html </ref> Although Disney was initially given tight filming restrictions, the company and China eventually came to an agreement where Chinese film crews would film the countries’ more “sensitive” areas, where the government did not want westerners to go (such as Tibet and the Great Wall) <ref name= "Spence2"/>.
