Pakistan and Afghanistan (sorry if I spelled Afghanistan wrong)
China is an East Asian nation. It is south of Russia and Mongolia, east of the Central Asian -stan countries, northeast of India, and north of the Southeast Asian countries (Vietnam, Thailand, etc.). It borders the Pacific Ocean, more specifically, The Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. A map of Asia is included in the link below, and China is where the title of Asia (in big, red letters) is.

"Stan" in several Middle and Near Eastern languages means "land," and "i" or "e" before the letters "stan" originated as a possessive marker in Farsi (Persian / Iranian language) which is the equivalent of English apostrophe "s" and shows "belonging to" or use of the preposition "of" indicating ownership -- or in this case, "a place of, or belonging to...". Thus, "Afghanistan" simply means "Land of the Afghans," "Uzbekistan" translates as "Land of the Uzbeks," and so on. "Pakistan" is a bit fancier, meaning "Land of the Pure." There are eight countries ending in "stan": Afghanistan, Dagestan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Additionally there are a number of ethnic regions, internally and surrounding Iran, which are not independent countries also carrying the "stan" ending: Kurdistan, Baluchistan (Balochistan?), Luristan (Loristan?), Gilakistan, Mazandaranistan, etc.
